Resource Assessment

At Atlantis, we understand that you have to understand the resource at your intended project site before you select your technical solution for energy extraction. The most crucial factor for tidal power developers is the potential energy yield from their proposed sites, an issue of significant importance in raising finance for developments and securing the future of a site.

 Atlantis Resources has worked with industry leaders to offer packages that can now provide detailed and accurate tidal energy yield assessment reports including bankable P90 confidence level predictions for annual production. These reports can be compiled once sufficient data has been recorded infield, and we can also project manage this data collection process as method is critical to meaningful outcome.

Analysts from the Atlantis’ Resource Assessment team have combined their expertise in numerical modelling and analysis of oceanographic behaviour with colleagues in Atlantis’ Planning and Environmental Group, who are specialists in tidal farm planning and environmental assessments, and colleagues from the Power Evacuation Systems Group, who are specialists in inter-array and export cable specification and transmission systems,  to provide detailed and contextual tidal resource assessments.

Remember that unlike wind and solar, tidal power is highly predictable.

Atlantis can build a course flow distribution model extracted from data sets collected from qualified field personnel deploying ADCPs in specific locations determined during preliminary boat mounted Doppler operations or we can develop detailed project financial models  inclusive of intensive data collection activities over a period of at least three months and a strategic procurement exercise.  As we are the only vertically integrated company in the market at present, we can offer an end-to-end solution selecting from our suite of turbines families that are the most efficient every built and tested of scale, to provide accurate and realistic project economic assessments and revenue/production forecasts.

Atlantis works for smaller developers, governments, utilities and large consortiums to assess resource and determine economical viability. Contact us today to talk through the possibility of unlocking the economic potential of tidal power resource in your part of the world.
