Inyanga Marine Energy Group has announced the design blueprint for its 20MW HydroWing technology to be deployed at Morlais in Wales.
The tidal energy array will incorporate the revolutionary Tocardo T3 turbine for the first time, with each of the 20 HydroWing units to be powered by two T3 turbines.
Inyanga has secured 20MW of capacity for their project at Morlais through the UK Government’s Contracts for Difference scheme Allocation Rounds 5 and 6 (AR5 and AR6) with the HydroWing allocation in AR6 being the largest tidal energy award in the UK. A demonstration project will take place at Morlais next year.
Richard Parkinson, CEO at Inyanga Marine Energy Group, sais: “The patented HydroWing design includes a number of innovative features, which together represent a step change in tidal energy design, increasing energy yield and reducing costs.”
