GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Minesto, leading developer of ocean energy, has today successfully completed the installation of a drilled and grouted seabed anchor solution for the Dragon 12, at the company's production site offshore in Vestmannasund, Faroe Islands. The installation was carried out by Minesto's collaboration partner Leask Marine Ltd. The Dragon 12 kite system is assembled, tested and ready for installation, commissioning, and power production. The innovative seabed anchor solution is developed by Leask Marine together with Minesto and has for the first time been installed. The Dragon 12 system is on the quayside in Vestmanna and is ready for installation and electricity production. Compared to a traditional gravity-based foundation, seabed anchoring reduces costs for tidal energy array buildout and lowers carbon emissions. "We are very pleased to have the Dragon 12 anchor in place. The solution builds on a new method where a smaller installation vessel carries out 24-hour drilling and grouting of a steel cylinder. We save thousands of tonnes of concrete and steel by moving away from gravity-based foundations. This method promises to become cost effective for future tidal energy arrays and the carbon footprint is minimal", said Dr Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto. Douglas Leask, Managing Director of Leask Marine said "This is a huge achievement for the rig's first outing, drilling such a large size of pile, lower than 80m of water depth, in a tidal site. We express our gratitude to Minesto for their trust in our team, and our new revolutionary Submersible Drilling Rig (SDR) technology that played a pivotal role to this project". About the seabed anchor solution: The anchor solution consists of a steel cylinder that is drilled into the seabed. The cylinder is then grouted in place and ready for use after the concrete hardening. A transition piece allowing the connection of the export cable and installation of the tether and kite is added to the cylinder.

GÖTEBORG, Sweden, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Minesto, leading ocean energy developer, has completed the manufacturing of the Dragon 12 wing and started system integration at quayside in Uddevalla port, Sweden. The quayside completion of the kite enables an efficient shipment directly to Minesto's tidal energy production site in Vestmannasund, Faroe Islands. Minesto has now transported the first completed Dragon 12 wing to the port of Uddevalla for integration of subsystems and further transport to the production site in Vestmanna, Faroe Islands. Final system integration at quayside is logistically cost effective and reduce the need for complex and expensive transport of the large wing. The wing, spanning 12 metres, is a key component in the Dragon 12 system to which all other modules connect. All subsystems, including the 1.2 MW power take off, steering pods, and control system are being prepared for integration. "The Dragon 12 wing has a very efficient and uncompromised hydrodynamic design. It is practically a scale-up of the Dragon 4 wing, with some adjustments to allow for tighter turns and to cater for the higher forces resulting from a larger system", says Bernt Erik Westre, CTO of Minesto. The manufacturer of the wing is Swedish composite specialist Elitkomposit. The cutting-edge supplier of advanced composite components is often contracted by high-tech industries such as the defence and space industry. Elitkomposit has previously delivered the wings for DG100, Dragon 2 and Dragon 4 along with other composite assemblies - thus been able to integrate previous experience into the utility scale Dragon 12 wing as well as the completion of the D12 rudders and elevators. "The organic shape and the high loads involved makes this wing one of the most advanced yet robust components we ever delivered. We are excited to contribute to new technologies in the renewable energy sector", says Andreas Simonsson, Senior Design Engineer at Elitkomposit.

今年8月新成立的綠能生力軍-台灣海洋能發展協會在10月19日組團參觀台灣國際智慧能源周，由理事長莊閔傑帶隊走訪富連海能源科技(團體會員， J0431)、小水力聯盟 (團體會員， K0411 小水力專區)、工研院( K0501a)、Minesto (K0801，瑞典館)、Wello (J1017a，芬蘭館)、台電再生處(J0917a)與臺灣海洋大學（K630），為會員與海洋能業者衝人氣，也與參展的綠電產業展開交流。 理事長莊閔傑表示，由於協會成立較晚，來不及報名參展，因此特別組團號召會員，在第一天上午就前往會場為所有的海洋能參展業者與單位加油打氣。今年海洋能共有三家業者與兩個研究單位展出，包括了國內唯一展出的業者富連海能源科技在岸邊的移動式波浪能機組，以及兩家國外業者，芬蘭館的Wello公司的波浪能與瑞典館的Minesto的洋流能機組，研究單位則有工研院展示了過去的波浪能研發成果與海洋大學的波浪能相關研究與實驗設備。 莊閔傑指出，對於許多參觀的民眾來說，海洋能還是比較陌生的再生能源方式，因此本次展出的國內業者除了介紹自己的產品外，也善盡企業社會責任對民眾進行海洋能科普教育。他表示，在協會成立後，也已經將科普教育列為協會的重點工作之一。 此外，在這次參訪過程中，莊閔傑觀察到，許多民眾看到業者將機組放在岸邊就能把波浪拿來發電都表示是「很創新又方便的概念」，因為除了不影響海洋生物與環境，還能降低海浪對海岸線的侵蝕，又可以很方便的避開颱風，希望能盡快見到這樣的海洋能在國內的實現。
