Iberdrola is
ready to continue its energy diversification and shut mouths critics only focused on wind energy, as stated last week Enel CEO Fulvio Conti. In his branch of renewable power company has just taken a giant step forward after the Scottish Government has authorized it to develop the first tidal energy park in the world, harnessing the power of ocean currents at depths of between 60 and 200 meters.
The electric chair Ignacio Sanchez Galan, through its UK subsidiary ScottishPower Renewables has also completed its study environmental impact. However, the company has a green light to realize a project that consists of the installation of ten turbines Hammerfest Strom hs1000 model called the Strait of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland.
The plant will be operational during the period 2013 to 2015, have 10 megawatts (MW) of power, enough to supply electricity to the entire island of Islay.
The turbine developed by Hammerfest Strom turbine looks like a land but lies on the seabed, which will not a limitation to navigation. With a unit power of 1 MW has a rotor diameter of approximately 20 meters.
Iberdrola has spent six years building a prototype of the Hammerfest Strom hs1000 in Norway, with the group that developed the turbines, which holds a English utility.
This model will be installed this year at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), located in Orkney (Scotland), to further improve its technology.
model Hammerfest Strom hs1000 is the world's most advanced turbines for power flows and Iberdrola project he undertakes will play a key role for large-scale deployment of energy flows, improving skills, both in the maintenance and monitoring of machines and in improving their performance. To this end, has a superb setting because Scotland is considered the country with the best marine energy resources in the world.
