EURO-TIDES

欧洲水域有10GW可预测的高价值潮汐流能源潜力，全球容量高达100gw。这是一种几乎完全未被利用的清洁能源，目前仅部署了13兆瓦。将欧洲市场领先的技术从单一部署过渡到农场规模，是利用这种清洁、可预测、安全的国内能源的下一个里程碑。EURO-TIDES是专门为解决呼叫主题而开发的，它提供了一个9.6兆瓦的农场，由四个2.4兆瓦的轨道潮汐能装置组成。该农场将在全面运行条件下运行15年，并于2027年部署。EUROTIDES联盟将共同努力实现六个雄心勃勃的目标，并推动该行业向前发展：通过提供9.6兆瓦的试点农场和三个试点农场系统创新来降低潮汐能技术开发的风险；将轨道公司浮动潮汐技术的平准化能源成本（LCOE）从120欧元/兆瓦时降低到100欧元/兆瓦时以下。2. 通过提供17520小时的运行数据，显示50GWh以上的产量，并根据国际公认的方法验证关键技术指标，提高可融资性和可保险性：将资金成本从10%-12%降低到5%-6%。3. 通过创建高效、稳健、可复制和可靠的操作和维护计划，增加潮汐流的可用性：将可用性提高到95%以上。4. 通过开发工业设计和制造流程来提高市场信心：将供应链能力从每年一台设备增加到每年80台设备。5. 增加对环境影响的了解，以确保适当的环境保护和缓解措施到位：使其能够安全地扩展到100吉瓦以上的全球市场。6. 使从演示中收集的性能、可靠性和行为数据公开可用：加速可扩展性、商业化和2GW以上项目管道的部署。

There is 10GW of predictable, high-value tidal stream energy potential in European waters, with up to 100 GW of capacity globally . This is an almost entirely unharnessed clean energy resource, with just 13 MW currently deployed . Transitioning European market leading technologies from single deployments, up to farm scale, is the next milestone in harnessing this clean, predictable, secure, domestic energy resource. EURO-TIDES has been developed specifically to address the call topic by delivering a 9.6MW farm of four 2.4MW Orbital tidal energy devices of the same series. The farm will operate in full operational conditions for 15 years, deploying in 2027. The EUROTIDES consortium will work collaboratively to deliver six ambitious objectives and drive the sector forwards: 1. De-risking tidal energy technology development by delivering a 9.6MW pilot farm and three pilot farm system innovations; reducing Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) of Orbital’s floating tidal technology from €120/MWh to <€100/MWh. 2. Increase bankability and insurability by providing 17,520 hours of operational data, displaying the production of 50GWh+, and verification of key technology metrics to internationally recognised methodologies: reducing cost of capital from 10%-12% to 5%-6%. 3. Increase availability of tidal stream by creating an efficient robust, replicable, and reliable operations and maintenance programme: increasing availability to 95%+. 4. Improve market confidence by developing industrial design and manufacturing processes: increasing supply chain capacity from one device per annum to 80 devices per annum. 5. Increase knowledge of environmental impacts to ensure appropriate environmental protection and mitigation is in place: enabling safe scalability to a 100GW+ global market. 6. Making performance, reliability and behavior data collected from the demonstration publicly available: accelerating scalability, commercialisation, and deployment of a 2GW+ project pipeline.
