Project Description & Scope of Work
Description
Modifications to PLC and SCADA software for control of hydrofoil angel to optimise power generation. Tide flow used to oscillate a hydraulic fin mechanism which in turn rotated a generator coupled to a top side re-generation drive. High speed data capture used to records all test results for later analysis for design improvements and large scale viability feasibility study.
Scope
Modifications to PLC and SCADA software for control of sub-sea fin based hydrofoil unit to recover and optimise power generation.
