A tidal turbine with encouraging performances.

Technological advantages of the EEL® Energy tidal turbine

  • Possibility of high power 10MW.
  • No cavitation problems.
  • Smaller footprint compared to the power collected.
  • Automatic orientation to the current, captures 100% of the current.
  • High density of tidal farms.
  • Low fluid speed start-up (0.7 m/s).
  • Installation near the coast is possible (shallow depth).
  • Machine that adapts to the speed of the current for optimal operation.
  • Many potential uses.
  • No Betz limit, which limits the recovery of propeller systems.
