Alstom Ocean in Brief Tidal Energy : production of electricity from tidal streams Activity created in December 2010 Acquisition of TGL (Tidal Generation Limited) in engineering centres (Bristol et Nantes) with R&D, engineering, project development in the two early markets: UK and France
Alstom Tidal Turbine Concept Detachable buoyant nacelle 3-blades, pitch control Grid compliant power 2,7 m/s. 18m diam. Weight: 148 tons Depth: 35 – 80m ALSTOM Tidal turbine - cut
Alstom Tidal Turbine Concept – Integrated O&M concept Modular DesignEasy to transportConventional quay side facility Towed by relatively small vessel Detachable nacelle Alstom buoyant concept is a key advantage for O&M
Alstom Ocean – Achievements and Roadmap Undergoing test of 1MW tidal turbine at European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) More than 100 MWh exported to the grid in October 2013 Our roadmap: Develop a competitive and reliable product portfolio in order to address the high market potential (50 to 100 GW worldwide). Support the next crucial development steps in order to arrive in full commercialization and industrial production in 2017/2018 ??? January 2013 September kW prototype deployed and connected to the grid 1MW turbine deployed and connected to the grid for two years tests Pilot arrays deployments Start serial production
What does tidal industry need to emerge? R&D support, to develop the necessary technical bricks (installation tools, farm electrical infrastructure, foundations, etc…) Industrial support: −Future pre-serial and serial facilities for nacelle production, final assembly of turbines and maintenance −Adapted supply chain Regional infrastructures: grid connection, harbour surfaces, harbour handling/lifting infrastructure Long term visibility : −Volume is necessary to decrease cost of energy −Support through adapted Feed In Tariffs
