Nov. 20, 2023, 2:04 p.m. Updated 35 {"title": ["", "The Trident AquaSail System: testing the market for an environmentally sensitive lowhead hydropower system."], "description": ["", "\nTrident Renewable Energy Systems Ltd is a new company formed to explore the commercial\npotential of the AquaSail System - a new hydropower solution they designed when responding\nto a property developer's request for proposals at a site with high levels of environmental\nsensitivity.\nThe AquaSail System incorporates vertical-axis turbines and a novel Control System as part of\na low-head barrier. The turbines are placed at the sluice gates and/or tidal flaps of the barrier,\nwith only the blades projecting into the water. The blade design engages a larger percentage\nof the total flow volume than conventional turbines do, thereby improving efficiency. The\nturbine also creates a natural passage that is safe for migratory fish. The control system is\ndesigned to produce a steady output of electricity from turbines rotating at variable speeds.\nThe relatively slow turbine speed also reduces turbulence and scouring in river locations.\nThis project will seek to identify the level of commercial potential for the AquaSail System.\nLow-head hydropower has been identified for some years as a promising additional source of\nrenewable energy but environmental, capital cost and efficiency issues have prevented\nsubstantial growth in this area. The project team will identify key decision makers in this\nsector: landowners and consultants/specifiers as well as suppliers and approach them for their\nreaction to the AquaSail system. Lead organisations in the British hydropower sector will\nalso be approached.\nThe information gained from both desk research and direct engagement with key decision\nmakers and influencers will be used to develop a Commercialisation Plan for the AquaSail\nSystem.\n\n"], "extra_text": ["", "\n\n\n\n"], "status": ["", "Closed"]}
