The latest incarnation in a line of pioneering tidal turbines developed over the past decade by marine-power technologist Atlantis Resources is girding its loins to go into the water early next year, with the Singapore-based company currently discussing a maiden commercial deployment for a one-megawatt (MW) model of its Solon-K device.
Two deep-water locations — one in the southern hemisphere and one in the northern hemisphere — are being weighed up, according to Atlantis chief executive officer Tim Cornelius, as a first site for the turbine.
