Power System
The OCGen
®
power system is designed for use in deeper tidal (reversing current) and deep water ocean current (unidirectional) applications. This is a complete power generation system that includes an array of several to several dozen OCGen® modules, each capable of producing 1-2MW output at its rated flow speed. The power system consists of three major subsystems: shore-side power electronics, mooring system, and turbine generator unit (TGU) device.
Features:
ORPC tested the mooring system in 2014 with the assistance of a U.S. Department of Energy grant OCGen® Module Mooring Project.
The shore-side electronics for the system will build off ORPC’s experience with the TidGen Power System in Cobscook Bay, RivGen Power System in Alaska, and R&D for tidal powered smart microgrids in Alaska and Maine.
Funding from the European Union, Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Administration will contribute to the design of OCGen® turbine technology.
