Abstract
This document summarizes the tasks identified for National Laboratory technical support of Ocean Renewable Power Corporation (ORPC) DOE grant awarded under the FY10 Industry Solicitation DE-FOA-0000293: Technology Readiness Advancement Initiative. The system ORPC will deploy in Cobscook Bay, ME is known as the TidGen (TM) Power System. The Turbine Generator Unit (TGU) each have a rated capacity of 150 to 175 kW, and are mounted on bottom support frames and connected to an on-shore substation using an underwater power and control cable. This system is designed for tidal energy applications in water depths from 60 to 150 feet. In funding provided separately by DOE, National Laboratory partners NREL and SNL will provide in-kind resources and technical expertise to help ensure that industry projects meet DOE (Wind and Water Power Program) WWPP Program objectives by reducing risk to these high value projects.
