SIMEC ATLANTIS ENERGY LIMITED
("Atlantis")
Partnership Agreed with General Electric to develop the world's
largest tidal stream turbine
SIMEC Atlantis Energy Limited ("Atlantis"), a world leading
developer of sustainable energy generation projects, is pleased to
announce that its Turbine and Engineering Services Division (ATES)
will enter into a Technology Partnership and Preferred Supplier
Agreement (TPPSA) with GE's Power Conversion business (GE), a
global leader in power conversion.
Under the terms of the partnership agreement, both parties will
work together and share resources for the ongoing development of
utility scale tidal energy generation and associated energy storage
solutions. They will also engage in joint marketing activities to
promote their innovative new subsea connection technologies and the
wider benefits of cleaner, predictable tidal energy.
Atlantis and GE have already been working in partnership since
September 2018 on the development and performance validation of
Atlantis' AR2000 tidal generation system, which is expected to be
the world's largest and most powerful single axis turbine
available. This record-breaking system is expected to be deployed
on future phases of Atlantis' iconic MeyGen Project in Scotland and
will also be available for sale to commercial developers.
With their abundant experience in tidal stream turbine
development and power conversion, the two parties will work jointly
to help achieve efficient, sustainable solutions for the delivery
of low-cost tidal power.
The partnership will play a key role in the delivery of
equipment and services to the second phase of the MeyGen Project,
known as Project Stroma, which will see two additional Atlantis
AR2000 turbines connected via a new subsea hub to a single power
export cable which will then be connected via the MeyGen substation
to the National Grid.
Drew Blaxland, Director of ATES, commented:
"GE is a world leader in power conversion equipment development
and supply. The AR2000 is expected to be the world's largest single
axis tidal turbine and it will be deployed on the world's largest
tidal power project. We want to partner with the world's best
companies; leaders in technology and innovation. This agreement
with GE is a clear demonstration of our commitment to working with
industry leading companies to deliver utility scale tidal power. As
the sole supplier of turbine generation equipment to the second
phase of the MeyGen Project in Scotland, partnering with GE unlocks
enormous opportunities to build on 10 years of R&D to now
deliver more cost-effective, cleaner tidal power solutions for
developers around the world.
"We expect that the AR2000 will become the system of choice for
developers of tidal power projects around the world. Developed and
built in Britain and then exported around the world."
Peter Oram, Commercial Director of GE's Power Conversion
business, commented:
"We are delighted to be working together towards cleaner energy
solutions - harnessing natural resources, like tidal energy, and
applying GE's efficient MV power conversion technologies allows us
to turn this abundant source of energy into reliable, predictable
power, for the UK and the world."
