PLAT-I Feasibility & Validation - Floating Inshore Tidal & River Energy Platform

可持续海洋能源有限公司（SME）正在寻求创新英国能源催化剂-早期阶段的资金，以进行一种新型浮动平台的详细设计和测试箱验证，该平台用于从潮汐和河流中捕获可再生能源。主要项目产出将是一个完整的经过验证的plati （I:Inshore）平台设计，为第一次全面生产做好准备。首批装置将于2017年底在两个试点部署中进行演示，一个在奥克尼群岛，另一个在新加坡，并计划随后进行阵列扩展。plati平台将与其他创新系统元素（系泊系统、锚杆海底锚定和Schottel Hydro的下一代流内涡轮机）集成，形成完整的商业产品。plati系统在英国和国际上展示了变革性影响的潜力，因为它将专门设计用于部署在能量较低、流量较低的部署位置，这些位置在现场潮汐或河流资源的强度方面不被认为是可行的。

Sustainable Marine Energy Limited (SME) is seeking funding from the Innovate UK Energy Catalyst - Early Stage- to carry out detailed design and test tank validation of a novel floating platform for the capture of renewableenergy from tidal and river currents. The primary project output will be a complete validated design of thePLAT-I (I:Inshore) platform ready for first full scale production. The first units will be demonstrated in 2 pilotdeployments in late 2017 - one in Orkney and another in Singapore - with plans for subsequent arrayexpansion. The PLAT-I platform will be integrated with other innovative system elements - mooring system,rock-bolt subsea anchoring and next generation in-stream turbine from Schottel Hydro - to form a completecommercial product offering. The PLAT-I system exhibits the potential for a transformative impact in UK andinternationally as it will be specifically designed for deployment in less energetic, lower flow deploymentlocations that have hereto not been considered to be viable in terms of strength of onsite tidal or river flowresource.
