The 60kW Beta Power System (BPS), deployed beneath ORPC’s Energy Tide 2 testing barge in the tidal currents off Eastport in Cobscook Bay, has been producing at levels that “meet or exceed expectations for the full range of current velocities”.
“Proving the efficacy of the BPS and its ability to generate grid-compatible power day in and day out is a huge milestone for America’s ocean energy industry,” says ORPC
