TidGen: Single Turbine System Mooring Design Overview for Cobscook Bay, Maine
This document summarizes the design of the Single Turbine Subsystem (STS) 2-point mooring system in Cobscook Bay, ME. The TidGen80 (TD80) is a mid-water column tidal energy device being developed by ORPC. Initial testing will utilize a previously installed Bottom Support Frame (BSF). The STS will be used to assess power production of a single turbine in a tidal environment, prior to testing the full system. While the STS is moored to the BSF, a barge holding a power electronics container will be alongside the unit. The fore end of the barge will be moored to the BSF, allowing a power and data cable to run between the STS and the barge.
