Tidal energy has increasingly proven to be a promising source of renewable energy. The Swedish tidal energy company Minesto completed the installation of the submarine infrastructure and verified the launch and recovery procedures of the 1.2 MW tidal energy device that will soon be deployed in the waters of the Faroe Islands.

Like other marine energy sources, the energy generated from tides has great energy production potential. The device, nicknamed Dragon 12, is about to take off as Minesto completes the work of connecting the export cable to the device’s base, leaving the Vestmannasund site ready to receive energy production.

The completion of the submarine infrastructure included the relocation of the pre-installed junction box at the end of the export cable to a structure in the foundation to create a plug-and-play connection with the kite line.

Satisfactory Performance Of The Dragon 4 Device

Activities in Vestmanna are ramping up this winter with the satisfactory performance of Minesto’s smaller Dragon 4 device in terms of electricity production in November and December, in parallel with the installation work of the Dragon 12 system.

Launch And Recovery Operations

Minesto has also performed the launch and recovery operations of the Dragon 12, its first tidal kite on a megawatt scale weighing 25 tons.

Commissioning Completed On January 10

The commissioning of the launch and recovery system (LARS) for the 1.2 MW device was completed on January 10.

Complete Analysis Of Launch And Recovery

‘A complete analysis of the kite launch and recovery of the Dragon 12 plant in the last 24 hours successfully verified the key maritime operations of our kite-based energy plants. This is a truly unique procedure at the core of our competitive LCOE levels’, added Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto.

Electricity Production

The commissioning of the Dragon 12 continues on site, which will culminate in electricity production. The operations of the smaller Dragon 4 plants will continue in parallel, said Minesto.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

Brazilian cities shining from space impress in a new image from NASA that reveals São Paulo, Rio, BH, and other urban centers during the historic Artemis II mission, which also captured the Moon like never before.

While nuclear energy projects typically take more than a decade, France has built a system over the years where about 70% of electricity comes from nuclear power plants, ensuring energy stability with low carbon emissions.

A mixture of PVA glue with water becomes a cheap sealer and helps to reinforce the wall before rain, reducing light infiltrations when applied at the right time.

Brazilian scientists use high-frequency ultrasound to burst Covid-19 and H1N1 viruses without damaging human cells and point to a path for new treatments against dengue and zika.
