SeaGen ‘S’ – a technical review
The SeaGen tidal power plant, has been successfully generating and delivering renewable electricity in the Strangford Narrows, Northern Ireland since November 2008. Designed to prove Energy Conversion Chain technology
Rotors: Structure: Power production: Energy generation: Maintenance: CO2 displacement:
2 x Axial flow rotors 16 m in diameter Quadropod base with raisable cross beam Rated at 600 kW each at 2.4 m/s Delivers10 MWhrs per tide into the local grid Access from support RIB, Onboard crane Equivalent of up to 3400 tons per year.

Current developments & outlook: SeaGen ‘S‘, Portaferry, Northern Ireland – a success story
Challenges
Achievements Generation Has exceeded more than 9 GWh
Increased R&D investments required to optimise technical solutions Further validation and evolution of design tools Developing new improved design concepts Global acceptance by politicians, stakeholders and customers Driving tidal power towards large-scale commercialisation
In operation since 2008 Leading example of a longterm tested full scale system Proven commercial scale concept An extensive environmental monitoring programme and clean bill of health
Siemens know-how enables industrial evolution of tidal turbine concepts and largescale projects Commercial projects in 2015

Current developments & outlook: First tidal array projects – SPV project development
Anglesey • • • •
10 MW Crown Estate lease, Marine and Section 36 consents in place MEAD capital grant offered by DECC Benefits from excellent accessibility and good local logistics Tolerable wave climate offers a perfect stepping stone experience considering design, operation and access in a wave environment
Kyle Rhea • 8 MW Crown Estate lease in place • NER 300 support offered by EU • Sheltered wave environment offers excellent opportunity to best understand wake interactions between devices in a small array
Brough Ness • 100 MW Crown Estate lease in place Working closely with project partners in domestic and foreign markets • e.g. Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, Canada Copyright © Siemens AG 2013. All rights reserved. Slide 8

Bob Colclough – Product development technical lead
Current developments & outlook: Further upscaling of device for commercialisation • 2MW: Delivered by 2, 20m diameter turbines • First 1.0 MW Power Train assembled in March 2013 • MEAD grant awarded by DECC on the basis of a viable project and a viable technical concept • Largest System on the market Optimises project economics • Pitch system reduces structural loads and improves efficiency efficient use of materials • Cost-effectively maintainable concept: Every component rapidly exchangeable on-site. • Every component designed for a 20 year life reducing cost of O&M interventions Copyright © Siemens AG 2013.
