High efficiency, low impact
The Deep Green device being developed by Minesto converts tidal stream currents into electrical energy via a two-stage process. The first stage increases the relative flow speed entering a turbine. The second stage uses a conventional plant to convert kinetic energy into electrical power. The net result is increased power from a device with smaller package size. The concept is thought to be particularly effective for lower energy tidal sites.
