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

可持续海洋能源有限公司(SME)正在向创新英国能源催化剂早期阶段寻求资金，以进行详细设计和测试水箱验证，以从潮流和河流中捕获可再生能源的新型浮动平台。主要项目输出将是PLAT-I(i：近岸)平台的完整验证设计，为首次全面生产做好准备。第一批部队将在2017年底进行两次试行部署--一次在奥克尼，另一次在新加坡--并计划随后进行阵列扩展。Plat-I平台将与其他创新的系统元素-系泊系统、锚杆水下锚定和肖特尔水电的下一代在流涡轮机-集成在一起，形成完整的商业产品。Plat-I系统展示了在英国和国际上产生变革性影响的潜力，因为它将专门设计用于能量较低、流量较低的部署地点，而这些地点在现场潮汐或河流流量资源的强度方面一直被认为是不可行的。

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.
