Last week the machine completed successful sea trials in the North Sea,
prior to its reinstallation at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney later this
month. OPD is currently completing the build of the world’s first commercial wave
farm in Portugal and hopes to secure another order for a project in Scotland for build
during 2007. (”DAVID MILIBAND MP VISITS EDINBURGH TO SEE WORLD

コメント
　以前紹介したOcean Power Deliverの波力発電システムががいよいよスコットランドで稼動しそうです。

　さらに、今回の計画では、複数の海洋発電システムに対して具体的に取り組むことが発表されました。スコットランドがニュージーランドなどが発表している取り組みを上回る世界最大規模の海洋エネルギー発電に取り組むことを発表したことは、世界に新たな再生可能エネルギーの可能性を検討する刺激となりそうです。(t_t)

Successful bidders for a share of the Marine Energy Fund are:
CRE Energy Ltd ￡4.141 million
to use four of Ocean Power Delivery's Pelamis devices arranged as a single wave energy array. Each device will be rated at 750kW giving a total array of output of 3MW

AWS Ocean Energy ￡2.128 million
design, construction, installation, testing and demonstration of a 500kW Archimedes Wave Swing ("AWS") wave energy converter at the European Wave Energy Centre

ScotRenewables ￡1.796 million
the SRTT is a floating tidal stream energy converter. The concept involves dual horizontal-axis rotors driving generators within sub-surface nacelles

Open Hydro ￡1.214 million
250kW Open-Centre Turbine to be installed on the sea bed at EMEC's tidal site. OpenHydro was the first company to install a tidal turbine at EMEC during 2006

Ocean Power Technology ￡0.598 million
The PowerBuoy is a buoy acting as a point absorber which moves up and down a central 'spar' as the wave passes by

Aquamarine ￡0.275 million
Oyster devices are designed to exploit the wave resource in near-shore locations. The near-shore environment is considered to be an optimal location for a device as the waves retain significant power compared to an offshore location but the damaging extreme waves are limited by water depth. This location is considered to reduce the capital and operating costs and hence maximise economic efficiency

CleanTechCom ￡0.273 million
two 1m diameter siphon pipes which pass through the No 1 Churchill Barrier on land at the Northern tip of Lamb Holm island on Orkney

Wavegen ￡0.149 million
development and testing of an advanced Wells turbine system which is expected to be utilized on a wave energy project on the Western Isles, at Siadar, which is currently being developed with npower renewables. This project will use Wavegen's existing Oscillating Water Column (OWC) at the Limpet site, near Portnahaven on the island of Islay

Tidal Generation ￡0.077 million
extraction of a core sample of seabed from the berth area Tidal Generation's machine will occupy "-----以上、 Scottish Executive , 20/02/2007
