TIDAL TURBINE CONSTRUCTION
An ongoing partnership with Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie (CMN), a leading world shipyard,
located in Cherbourg, France, will enable the construction of tidal turbines and the development of tidal marine
farms around the world.
TIDAL TURBINES
Modular concept to adapt different depths
Bidirectional operation in tidal condition. No moving of the machine or of blade orientation.
Simple and robust concept reducing manufacturing costs, operation and maintenance
Low sensitivity to the current orientation using cross-flow turbines
Machine adapted to service boats developed by our partners
High impact resistance and excellent recyclability : all metal fabrication
Test of the first tidal demonstrator in France,
on Paimpol Bréhat testing platform, with
ADEME support
Commercial deployment of
tidal turbine farms
Development of a high performance hydrokinetic tidal
turbine
Development of pilot tidal turbine farm

THE HYDROQUEST RIVER SOLUTION
Hydropower from the kinetic energy of water, does
not require fall
Predictable, regular and economic energy
Fast deployment and installation, within few
months. No civil engineering required.
Reliability and robustness of the system,
especially against debris, through the manufacturing
process and proven materials : lifetime over 25
years
Modularity allows adjusting of the number of levels
and the number of hydrokinetic turbines to the
depths of sites
Operating and maintenance is simple, by raising the hydrokinetic turbine in the dry and with built-in monitoring system
Extremely low environmental impact
