Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC) is going to deploy company's proprietary Turbine Gene
rator Unit (TGU) in Eastport on Tuesday, March 2. TGU has capacity rating of 60 kilowatts. The project is a significant step in using technological innovations for energy needs. Composite materials have been used to build the proprietary turbine and support frame, and it has a proprietary underwater permanent magnet generator with a power electronics system that will convert the variable generator output to grid-compatible power. Nearly all of the project components were made or assembled in Maine, including the 60' by 24' Energy Tide 2 vessel that was fabricated in the Eastport area. There will be a demonstration of the project to confirm ORPC's skill to generate grid-compatible tidal energy on a commercial scale with its proprietary technology. They also intend to collect important data on TGU performance and its environmental impacts.
