The data presented today explains the importance of matching the right powerplant (Dragon) configuration (modularity) with specific site conditions (e.g. ocean flow conditions) to optimize output at a given tidal site.

Four data sets are presented in the attached graph.

The fourth curve is the performance specification that Minesto today can offer customers for installations of smaller powerplants (100-200kW for e.g. a Microgrid installations) at medium flow sites and the third curve show a system for a low flow site.

There are site-specific and technical limitations explaining the shape of the actual power curve. For example, the strength of the anchoring system and the rated power of the generator limit power production in the higher flow range. The full interpretation of power conversion performance is proprietary information only shared selectively with commercial partners under NDA.

The data from the first three-month test-phase of the larger system Dragon 12 (which is a scale-up of the D4) is as expected on-par with the presented D4 data. The Dragon 12 testing is following a stepwise ramp-up program towards optimum flight trajectories and control system settings.

"Based on actual and simulated performance data from both the D4 and the recently installed larger D12 we conclude that the technology is ready for the first Dragon Farms as well as microgrid installations. Equally important, we now have the right tools and capability to optimize the size and configuration of Dragons for specific sites. We also believe that the accumulated test data and documentation on Dragon Class technology makes it ready for third party technical evaluations by commercial actors" said Dr Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto. 

Information: The CEO presentation from today's AGM will be available in Minesto's official after the event.
