A leading Ocean Energy Company.
Power to change the future. Minesto develops a new concept for tidal power plants called Deep Green. The power plant is applicable in areas where no other known technology can operate cost effectively due to its unique ability to operate in low velocities. Minesto develops a new concept for tidal power plants called Deep Green. Deep Green is based on a fundamentally new principle for electricity generation from tidal currents. It's free! Minesto is a leading Ocean Energy Company. The company was founded in 2007, among the major owners are Midroc New Technologies, Saab AB, BGA and Chalmers University of Technology. Minesto owns the Deep Green Technology which can generate electricity economically out of low and medium ocean currents. Technology development. Minesto follows a focused research and product development plan. The goal is to deploy a 1.5MW Deep Green array in 2017, then increasing to a 10MW array. Previous ocean trials with prototypes have proved the functionality and competitiveness of the power plant, although some challenges still remain. Minesto describes the Deep Green system as an underwater kite, comprised of a wing and a turbine which is secured to the seabed with a tether.. The unit then moves with great speed in an 8-shaped path in the tidal or ocean current, thus spinning the turbine and generating power.
