MeyGen Update - AR1500 Turbine Generating to the Grid
Atlantis, a global leader in the tidal power sector, is
delighted to confirm, following Monday's announcement of the
deployment of the first AR1500 tidal stream turbine at the MeyGen
project site in the Pentland Firth, Scotland, that the 1.5 megawatt
turbine has already successfully exported power to the grid and has
operated at full power.
The AR1500 system was developed by the Turbine and Engineering
Services division within Atlantis and the nacelle was designed
under contract by Lockheed Martin Corporation. The AR1500 is one of
the most technologically advanced tidal turbines ever deployed on a
commercial scale marine power project.
In November 2016, Atlantis announced that first power had been
delivered to the grid from the first of the three Andritz Hydro
Hammerfest tidal stream turbines. All four of the turbines in Phase
1A have now been installed and connected to the grid onshore at a
control building at Ness of Quoys in Caithness.
The Atlantis AR1500 tidal stream turbine was successfully
deployed in less than 60 minutes following earlier connection of
its proprietary wet mate connection management system, which allows
for rapid deployment and retrieval of the tidal stream turbine.
Construction for the next 6MW phase of the MeyGen project is due
to commence later this year.
