Alstom Shows Tidal Stream Power Generation (VIDEO)

Alstom, a world leader in transport infrastructure, power generation and electrical grid, shows tidal stream power animation. Tidal power is a major growth area, with a potential global electricity generation estimated up to 100 gigawatts.

The Company offers proven, reliable and efficient technologies with particular attention to Operation and Maintenance. For example, installation of their turbine doesn’t require specialist installation or maintenance vessels.

They have dedicated teams in Nantes (France) and Bristol (UK), where they are developing the next generation of tidal energy technology – ensuring Alstom is at the forefront of this rapidly-expanding field and complementing their current work in offshore wind.

They are positioned at the forefront in design, development and manufacture of tidal stream turbines for the capture and conversion of tidal energy to electrical power. Following the Company’s acquisition of Tidal Generation Ltd (TGL), they plan to deploy demonstration arrays ahead of full commercial production.

Alstom is developing leading tidal generation devices, including a leading tidal stream turbine which offers a number of advantages for cost effective electricity generation over others in the market.

At their Ocean Energy bases in Nantes and Bristol, they are refining solutions that will be used in the first commercial tidal power plants.

UTC 2017

The subsea industry has, as all other parts of the oil & gas industry, been seriously rattled by the most severe downturn in the hydrocarbon energy era. However, the realization of what hit us and actions to be taken to sustain a healthy and profitable future is still on-going – unfortunately with thousands of colleagues paying the price by losing their job as one of the most severe consequences. At this time, there are signs that we have reached bottom in terms of most industry indicators, but few experts expect a sharp recovery. Many seem to believe that a slow recovery is what the industry needs in order to avoid an unsustainable capacity build-up, as seen in the period after the financial crisis. Considering the uncertainty of what the future will bring, this year’s UTC Program Committee have decided to challenge all of us to present ideas, experiences, technological innovations, business models and execution models for how to shape our subsea future and explain how and why subsea is the future.
UTC welcomes abstracts based on the topics listed below. If selected, please consider writing a paper in addition to the UTC presentation. From 2017, UTC papers will be published in an international database.
