Deployment of Turbulence Measurement Frame
The tidal energy project is continuing to gather information in preparation for the Environmental Statement that will be submitted to the Scottish Government early next year.
In addition to the bird and sea mammal surveys, a sophisticated turbulence measurement frame was installed last week (see photo). This equipment, which weighed over two tonnes will provide information that will allow the turbine blades to be optimised for the fast flows in the Sound of Islay.
