ADAPTIDE

Alaska holds over 90% of the United States' estimated available tidal power, but no existing tidal power generation approach can both survive its aggressive currents and provide energy at a cost which is competitive with conventional sources. A tidal power generation system which survives extreme current speeds, maximizes capacity factor and minimizes life cycle cost is a prerequisite for the realization of the United States' full tidal energy potential and the worldwide export of domestic tidal power generation technology. Adaptide's proprietary tidal power generation method addresses the core barriers to cost-competitive tidal energy.
