The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) has completed an independent power performance assessment for Verdant Power’s New York tidal power array at the Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE) site.
The report confirms active power output was 187 kW at 2.5 m/s peak flood tide and turbines performed at over 99% availability. Overall water-to-wire efficiencies reached over 46%.
This is the world’s first marine energy Renewable Energy Test Report (RETR) and follows EMEC becoming the world’s first International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Renewable Energy Testing Laboratory (RETL) for ocean energy in August 2020.
It is also the first United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) ISO/IEC 17025 accredited power performance assessment to be completed by EMEC at a site outside the centre’s own test facilities in Orkney, Scotland.
Cosmetic brands and companies manufacturing in the United Kingdom may now obtain a Good Manufacturing Practice certificate from the government exempting them from animal testing.
EMEC has delivered the world’s first internationally recognised power performance assessment to Verdant Power for its tidal array in New York, US.
During the 39-day test period, over tides, Verdant Power’s turbines performed with over 99% availability and generated 187kW at 2.5 metres per second at peak flood tide velocity.
The tidal power array s located at the Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE) site.
Overall water-to-wire efficiencies reached over 46%.
