BLUEMULL SOUND
A FOURTH 100-kilowatt turbine has now been installed at the tidal energy array in Bluemull Sound.
The new direct-drive turbine, called Eunice, is already supplying electricity into the local grid, developer Nova Innovation has said.
It also coincides with the 10th anniversary of the Edinburgh-based tidal energy company.
The new turbine is the first of three that will be installed in the array as part of the EU-funded EnFAIT project, which is led by Nova and includes a number of industry and academic partners.
The project aims to demonstrate the economic viability of tidal power – and Nova claims that the next generation of direct-drive turbine, which have no gearbox, cuts the cost of tidal energy by a third, making it cost competitive with fossil fuels - Link
