SKF has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Proteus Marine Renewables (PMR) and GE Vernova’s Power Conversion business. The MOU sets out a framework for a potential alliance to supply tidal turbine generation systems (TTGS) to developers of tidal arrays for commercial, multi-megawatt tidal stream projects. An initial focus will be the supply of a minimum 59MW to MeyGen PLC (MeyGen) at its site in Scotland, the largest tidal stream facility in the world. 

Rotork Controls has established a global reputation for robust and reliable valve actuators, operating in some of the world’s most demanding and critical applications. Thorough testing of the motors used in the actuators is one of the keys to this assured performance, with TorqSense transducers from Sensor Technology playing a vital role in the test process.
