Results for tag: "Tidal Stream Generator"

Tidal Stream Generators (TSGs) are a type of hydro power technology that harnesses the kinetic energy of tidal currents to generate electricity. TSGs are typically installed in shallow coastal waters, and can be used to generate electricity for local communities or to feed into the national grid. They are a form of renewable energy, and are considered to be more reliable than other forms of renewable energy such as wind and solar. TSGs are typically installed in arrays, with multiple turbines connected to a single generator. This allows for greater efficiency and power output. The turbines are designed to be robust and durable, and can withstand the harsh conditions of the marine environment. The TSG market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for renewable energy sources and the need to reduce carbon emissions. Governments around the world are investing in TSG technology, and the industry is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. Some of the major players in the TSG market include Atlantis Resources, OpenHydro, Voith Hydro, Siemens Gamesa, and Andritz Hydro. Show Less Read more
