Insufficient testing facilities tidal turbines

There is a strong dependency on fossil fuels.

For the development of new renewable energy sources, it is necessary to be able to test them. The further development of tidal turbines is difficult because of lack of testing facilities.

A Tidal Technology Centre is being set up at the Flakkee discharge sluice in the Grevelingendam. The six tubes of this culvert are being made available for testing. Tidal Turbines, mills and its components can be tested, certified and demonstrated.

• Power can be generated during both ebb and high tide.
• Good accessibility, no offshore installation and operation means necessary.
