Description
ORE Catapult's 1MW Drive Train Facility has been designed to perform accelerated lifetime testing of integrated turbine nacelle systems and the individual drive train components of prototype tidal power generation devices up to 1MW.
It has been designed to simulate the environmental (rotational) loads likely to be experienced by a tidal device offshore, thereby validating new technologies to reduce the financial risk and improve reliability for developers before full demonstration and deployment at sea.
The current configuration of the test rig is not sufficient for the next testing project. Therefore, ORE Catapult have a requirement for a replacement reducer gearbox that can transfer up to 1MW power range.
