In this changing world, there’s an increasing need for renewable and reliable sources of energy. Ocean current energy can provide for that need. Worldwide, there's a huge energy potential in harvesting the deep sea currents, with focus areas spread alongside the four continents. The promise of ocean currents The key advantage of ocean currents is their predictability and constant flow; it is considered renewable baseload by the energy utility companies. Another feature is their relatively low speed. This minimizes installation and operational risks compared to other energy sources while providing an excellent earning capacity – double the energy per megawatt compared to offshore wind. The challenge These low water speeds do provide a technical challenge to the turbine; traditional turbine designs are uneconomical at very low speeds. Equinox utilizes a proprietary two-stage turbine technology, whereby first the energy is concentrated before harvesting.
