Minesto announces power production performance aligned with simulated predictions
As part of the continued operations programme in its tidal energy project in the Faroe Islands, Minesto has made significant progress related to electricity generation to grid. The company’s DG100 power plant has reached peak power production performance above 110 kW with average power produced over a tidal cycle aligned with predictions in simulation runs.During March, a second DG100 kite system has been delivered to the Faroe Islands and successfully run in electricity production mode. The unit, named “Drekin” after the local word for dragon, incorporates upgrades to improve performance
