At-Sea Development
About

The At-Sea Development team has over 80 years of experience in marine energy technologies, including vertical-axis turbines, underwater kites, and horizontal-axis systems for harnessing water currents. Our international experts assist developers in optimizing marine energy solutions while minimizing environmental impact.

To enhance the marine energy industry, we conduct research and site analyses to promote reliable and cost-effective technologies, focusing on identifying and ranking suitable sites regardless of the technology used.

Our Projects
USA – Eastern Long Island Sound Tidal Energy Project
New York's Eastern Long Island Sound
Tidal Energy Project
has received a U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission preliminary permit (Project No. 15349-000). The purpose is to conduct a study assessing and analyzing the possible installation of an underwater field of tidal stream turbines. Several different types of three-blade, horizontal axis tidal stream turbines will be considered as well as any social and environmental impacts. For planning purposes, the project is likely to be comprised of multiple unducted three-blade horizontal axial-flow turbines grouped into underwater arrays. The turbines would operate primarily interconnected to an electric grid. The turbines would be deployed on gravity-mounting systems or underwater mooring foundations.
Indonesia – The Indonesian Throughflow Project
The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF.) refers to the transfer of upper ocean by waters from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean through the Indonesian Seas. Dr. Dwi Susanto and his team have been measuring and tracking the ITF in numerous straits in the Indonesian Seas. As a result, they have determined that Indonesia's waters are a perfect location for developing marine energy because the ocean current in Indonesia is a combination of tidal current and throughflow. When they are in synch, the ITF increases the tidal current. This project focuses on necessary and required detailed field measurements of these waters to determine the technical, regulatory, and economic feasibility of developing commercial marine energy projects throughout the Indonesian archipelago given the ITF
Services

At-Sea develops study plans in consultation with agencies and stakeholders and provides site analysis and resource characterizations (SARC) to and for prospective project developers. The purpose of a SARC is to determine the technical, regulatory, and economic feasibility of a marine energy project. In accomplishing a SARC, At-Sea in conjunction with in-county/state partners will provide the following:

  • Detailed measurements, regulatory assessments, analysis, and screening level design
  • Feasibility level design and implementation plan preparation
  • Technical-optimal combination of marine energy sources
  • Social and environmental safeguards
  • Economic-financial analysis and project financing assessment
  • Engagement between public-private-community stakeholders
