Tidal energy is clean and predictable, but harsh conditions, high maintenance, and technical challenges have made it hard to implement. But a new breakthrough in Scotland could change that.SKF, a global engineering company, says its systems at the MeyGen tidal stream array have now run continuously for over six years without unplanned maintenance. According to the company, this is a world record for tidal turbine reliability.
“The successful operation and performance of our existing turbines have proven the reliability of this technology and its potential as a predictable source of renewable energy. We are excited to collaborate with Proteus Marine Renewables with the support of SKF as we progress from a pilot project to full commercial deployment,” stated Fraser Johnson, O&M Manager for the MeyGen tidal array.Market growth, global potential, and the road aheadTidal stream energy is unique in its predictability.
