Abstract
MTG Platform Concept 2 is a follow on from the successful early stage energy catalyst project MTG Tidal Raft
Platform Concept (48514-345289) and is a 30 month consortium project to establish a pilot scale platform for
the rapid deployment and operation of turbines generating energy from tidal and run of river flow. The project
focusses on three areas of innovative technical development towards the commercialisation of the platform:
(1) Validation of numerical models developed at early stage through tank testing and refinement of model; (2)
Developing full scale prototype for field demonstration; (3) Appraise of the platform to rapidly install and
remove turbines and power modules; (4) Testing the innovations component functionality and integration
during field demonstration, in particular the ‘Modular’ and ‘Hot-Swap’ systems; (5) De-risking of operations at
scale; including full life cycle costs (deployment strategies, development & production costs, reliability
assessment).
