Advanced Wing Rotor TechnologyInfraTidal’s open-flow tidal technology has no dams. Generators are driven by Wing Rotors that turn very slowly with high torque and are safe for marine life. Camera Studies have shown fish swim through the rotors unharmed like we walk through a revolving door.These wing rotors do not need to turn to face into the flow, but operate with flow from any direction and so do not need a yawing mechanisms like wind turbines. They operate efficiently even when the direction of tidal flow changes and in turbulent water.Tidal power from pontoons, jetties, wharves and bridgesInfraTidal’s tidal power modules can be installed beneathmodular pontoons, in jetties & wharves or under bridges over fast rivers and tidal estuaries.Dispatchable Baseload PowerWhen combined with an energy storage system (such as batteries, compressed-air or pumped-hydro) of relatively small known capacity tidal renewable energy systems can provide dispatcable (demand following) bulk, base-load, zero-emission ‘Green Power’. Least Cost Grid PowerUltimately tidal power when scaled up and mature will have a cost structure similar to hydroelectric power. ‘Long term’ (after amortization) hydroelectric power plants produce power cheaper than any fossil fuel power stations.
