the economic case for tidal power - tidal technology - openhydro

http://www.openhydro.com/techEconomics.html

There is a strong economic case for generating electricity using the Open-Centre Turbine. Currently, the cost of generating electricity using an Open-Centre Turbine is comparable to that of Offshore Wind. Longer term, economics of large scale deployment will trend costs toward those for onshore wind. The Open-Centre Turbine's low cost of production, installation and maintenance combine to create a powerful case for investment. Tidal power is infinitely renewable, predictable and economic.

the generation of tidal energy - tidal technology - openhydro

http://www.openhydro.com/envEnergy.html

Tidal streams are created by the constantly changing gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the worlds oceans. Tides never stop, with water moving first one way, then the other the world over. In certain areas geographic features such as headlands or channels serve to accelerate this movement of water. Since the relative positions of the sun and moon can be predicted with complete accuracy, so can the resultant tide. It is this predictability that makes tidal energy such a valuable resource.

the impact of global warming - tidal technology - openhydro

http://www.openhydro.com/environment.html

It is now widely accepted that excessive burning of fossil fuels and the resultant CO 2. Gases produced has had a major impact on the world's climate. If this continues, scientists predict that it will cause irreversible damage, such as the melting of the polar ice caps. The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate due to global warming. With global energy demand set to increase, there is an undeniable and urgent need to develop new renewable energy technologies.

OpenHydro opened its European assembly facility in 2007. The 2,500 m² (27,000 sq ft) Irish technical centre is adjacent to Greenore Port, County Louth providing convenient access to sea transport. The dedicated technical centre is equipped to ensure the highest quality and worker safety standards. The first turbine to be built at this new facility was completed in October 2007. European assembly facility is operational.

the oceans as an energy source - tidal technology - openhydro

http://www.openhydro.com/envResource.html

The worlds oceans represent a vast resource of non-polluting, endlessly renewable energy. Major tidal streams can be identified around the coasts of every continent, making this a truly global resource. It has been estimated that if less than 0.1% of the energy available in the oceans could be captured and converted into electricity, it would satisfy the present global demand for energy more than five times over.*.
