The #World’s Most Powerful #Tidal_Turbine’ starts to #Export #Power to the #Grid | A tidal turbine weighing 680 metric tons and dubbed “the world’s most powerful” has started grid-connected power generation at the European #Marine_Energy Centre in #Orkney, an #archipelago located north of mainland #Scotland.
The news marks another major step forward for the U.K.’s nascent marine energy sector.
In an announcement Wednesday, Scottish engineering firm Orbital Marine Power explained how its 2 megawatt O2 turbine had been anchored in a body of water called the Fall of Warness, with a subsea cable linking it to a local electricity network on land.
It’s expected that the turbine, which is 74 meters long, will “operate in the waters off Orkney for the next 15 years,” the company said, and have “the capacity to meet the annual electricity demand of around 2,000 UK homes.”
