QED Naval Limited and Tocardo Turbines is a cheap submerged platform for tide sites
Subhub Tidal Platform is a submersible, gravity-based foundation that will support an array of tidal turbines for the duration of their lives. It incorporates the whole tidal energy plant at the quayside, where everything is commissioned and tested in a secure and accessible area. The Subhub is then used as a transport barge to deliver tidal equipment directly to the site utilizing readily accessible, low-cost harbour tugs, etc. The Subhub, together with the turbines, is deployed in a single offshore operation using its unique submerged stability properties to place itself on the seabed. It then de-ballasts further in order to achieve the desired working state. The hydrodynamically constructed hull form accelerates flows to tidal turbines, allowing locations to collect 47% more energy on average.
