("SAE", the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the
"Group")
SAE achieves another tidal milestone -
Tidal power generation facility in Japan has passed the pre-use
inspections test.
SAE is pleased to announce that its tidal power generation
facility in Naru Island, Japan, has passed the Japanese
government's pre-use inspection tests. The site, which features the
AR500 tidal turbine, is now recognised as an official power
generation facility. The tests were undertaken by the Ministry of
Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), which is a key stakeholder in
consenting renewable energy projects in Japan.
The SAE team in the UK and Japan have been working closely with
its client Kyuden Mirai Energy (KME) to demonstrate to METI that
the power generation facility adheres the national regulatory
standards. Some of the tests involved in the process included:
-- Meeting the turbine's stated performance characteristics during peak tidal flow conditions
-- Demonstration of the ability to shut down the system safely
during the highest annual flow rates
-- Temporary resilience to an auxiliary power loss from shore
event and safe shutdown in the instance of an extended outage
-- Full testing of the turbine's rapid shutdown capability in
response to an emergency stop trigger from shore
The turbine tests, which were successfully passed during one of
the strongest tides expected this year, follow an exhaustive
process of inspection and verification of both the onshore facility
and offshore equipment against national electrical standards.
The Scottish built AR500 tidal turbine has been generating
electricity since it was installed in January 2021, and has
generated more than 90MWh of power, at a high turbine availability.
This pilot is the first large scale project of its kind in Japanese
waters and has shown how the tidal industry can make a meaningful
contribution in Japan's ambition to diversifying its energy supply
towards renewable sources. Whilst the turbine's power output is
purposefully limited to meet consenting restrictions for this phase
of the project, Japan's deep and fast moving tidal currents lend
themselves to arrays of MW class commercial turbines.
Graham Reid, CEO at SIMEC Atlantis Energy (SAE):
"I am extremely proud of the entire team who worked tremendously
hard to get the project to where it is today. We are all delighted
to have achieved this accreditation from METI as this confirms the
capability and reliability of our technology and is a huge step
forward in paving the way to the next phase of this exciting
project and other future projects in Japan."
