Power Take-Off System for a Subsea Tidal Kite D6.2 - Environmental Impact Report

Abstract

This report is a deliverable of the Powerkite project, a Horizon 2020 project funded by the European Union’s research and innovation programme. The Powerkite’s project main objective was to design, build and deploy a power take-off (PTO) system for the novel tidal energy concept Deep Green referred to in this document as the ‘kite’ and  as  part  of  Work  Package  (WP)  6, gaining  a  better  understanding  of the  potential  environmental interactions of the device.  

The environmental impact report D6.2 is  the  final  report  for  WP  6 Environmental  Impacts and describes the results of the environmental data collected as part of WP 2 detailed in deliverable D2.10, during the project. This report provides details on the noise measurements, the Collision Risk Model (CRM), the development of the sonar system to visualise animal movement as well as the benthic surveys.
