SAE achieves another tidal milestone with installation and
successful generation of tidal turbine in Japan
SAE, the global sustainable energy generation company and
technology developer, is pleased to announce that its Scottish
built tidal turbine and generation equipment have been successfully
installed in the Goto Island chain in Japan. The tidal turbine
clocked its first 10MWh of generation within the first ten days of
operation and is now producing clean electricity in Japan.
The project included leasing tidal generation equipment and
providing offshore construction services to Kyuden Mirai Energy
("KME") for a pilot turbine located in the straits of Naru Island,
within the southern Japanese Goto island chain. The SAE designed
and manufactured AR500 tidal turbine was assembled at SAE's
operations and maintenance base at Nigg Energy Park in Scotland.
The turbine was assembled and tested in nine weeks before shipping
to Japan.
Offshore construction of the tidal generation equipment took
just five days to complete, beginning with the laying of the cable,
landing of the foundation structure and ballast to the sea floor,
connection of the cable, and finally the installation of the
turbine to the foundation.
Graham Reid, CEO of SAE, said:
"We are proud of our team, who worked efficiently and most of
all safely during a worldwide pandemic, to bring tidal stream
energy to Japan. Throughout the project we have also received great
support from our strategic partner, KME, who was supported by a
consortium of local and international stakeholders. I would also
like to recognise the work of the Scottish Government who continue
to support and champion the tidal industry and maximise the
benefits to Scotland.
This is a huge milestone for the deployment of clean, renewable
energy from tidal stream and we hope it will be the first of many
tidal turbines installed in Japan."
Scotland's Energy Minister, Paul Wheelhouse, said:
"For over 10 years the Scottish Government has championed the
development and deployment of marine energy. We have worked
extensively to support the research, development, innovation and
demonstration that has made Scotland a global leader in both tidal
and wave technology, with several World firsts and initiatives
having been progressed in Scotland's waters.
"I would like to congratulate Simec Atlantis Energy on achieving
this significant milestone for the company and also for the workers
at Nigg Energy Park who built the turbine which is now successfully
generating clean, green electricity in Japan. Both the company and
the team at Nigg have demonstrated the huge potential for
Scotland's marine energy and the key role it will play in
decarbonising our energy both at home and - as demonstrated by this
turbine's successful deployment in Japan - across the World and I
look forward to Scotland's marine energy potential having a further
shop window to the international community when delegates gather in
Glasgow for COP26, later this year."
