MAGNETIDE project - tidal energy generator development

Tidal energy generation technology development

Energy derived from tidal currents and movements, particularly relevant to the UK's strong Atlantic currents.

Manufacturing technique used by the MAGNETIDE project to quickly produce efficient energy generator components.

A European research project developing purpose-designed generators for tidal energy systems. The project aims to increase efficiency of tidal energy systems by 30% through modifications to conventional generators and uses powder injection moulding for manufacturing.

Purpose-designed generators that harness tidal currents to produce electrical power. The generators are similar in design to submerged wind turbines and are manufactured using powder injection moulding techniques.
