MEYGEN – ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE Gearbox with Lubrication


Oil Filtration system


GEARBOX


Parallel to all of the activities for the variable pitch rotor blades system, Parker´s full line distribution partner, RG Group in the USA supplied Lockheed with hydraulic and fluid connector components for the yaw drive system and Parker Filtration division Europe designed, built and supplied the gearbox Lubrication Oil Filtration system, via Parker UK Sales, to Atlantis´s gearbox supplier Involution Technologies.


The commissioning stage of the gearbox with Atlantis and Involution engineers on site at the UK Catapult Offshore Renewable Energy site in Blyth was also supported by Parker engineers. Involution’s Managing Director Mark


Cunliffe told us “Involution’s Engineers in the course of their careers have been involved in three of the world’s leading


tidal projects to date and it was with great pride that we were asked to take part in the Atlantis project to finally realise our ambition of seeing our class leading technology applied to a full scale array of tidal turbines having first started in tidal in 2006”.


DEDICATION AND FUTURE CONFIDENCE


As Parker’s overall Project Manager Calum McConnell said: “This project was indeed a serious investment of resource, but Atlantis´s technology, dedication, plan to market as well as their investor pool and the fact that they own the Meygen site, indicate strongly that although the tidal market does represent investor risk, they are one of the strongest candidates in the market space and highly likely to


be successful in their bid to produce hundreds of megawatts of grid connected power.


“The resource investment is large, as are the potential gains. We look forward to tomorrow, working closely with Lockheed and Atlantis and the next stages of the project!”
