Equinox Ocean Turbines BV Information

In this changing world, there’s an increasing need for renewable- and reliable sources of energy. Ocean Current energy can provide in that need. Worldwide, there's a huge energy potential harvesting the deep sea currents, with focus areas spread alongside the four continents. The promise of Ocean Currents The key advantage of Ocean currents is their predictability and constant flow; it is considered renewable baseload by the energy utility companies. Another feature is their relatively low speed. This minimises installation and operational risks compared to other energy sources while providing an excellent earning capacity – double the energy per megawatt compared to offshore wind. The Challenge These low water speeds do provide a technical challenge to the turbine; traditional turbine designs are uneconomical at very low speeds. Equinox utilises a proprietary two-stage turbine technology, whereby first the energy is concentrated before harvesting. In combination with smart material usage, this results in a very scalable and economic product. Building on the experience and knowledge of existing, proven technology, Equinox aims to provide a commercial solution in five years time and is currently raising the funds to grow the team and realise the next big step in the development roadmap.
