The UDRR-based turbines can also be used in wind power generation systems in areas with air flow or prevailing winds going in two opposite directions (areas between two mountains, for example).

This unidirectional rotation rotor (UDRR) based turbine design eliminates the need to have any yaw control systems which are used in both hydro turbines and wind power generators to rotate the entire turbine to ensure that those turbines are constantly oriented into oncoming water or air flow to maximize the effectiveness of rotors and, as result, rotation power or torque.

UDRR-based turbine designs also eliminate the need to have a blade pitch control system, which is also used in both existing hydro and wind power turbine designs to rotate blades to optimize them for better angle of attack in different water or wind speeds to achieve a certain rotor speed or power output.

UDRR-based turbines also don’t use any gearboxes or transmission systems to decrease or increase the turbine’s rotation per minute (RPM). These gearboxes and transmission systems may significantly reduce the reliability of power generation systems and require constant spending on maintenance and repairs.

Absence of these three components that are normally used in other hydro or wind power generation turbine types can simplify the manufacturing process and significantly reduce the cost of new UDRR-based turbines for power generation systems, reduce the cost of the construction of supporting underwater and on the surface structures, which all together leads to significantly lowering the initial investment cost of manufacturing and construction.

It will also lead to higher reliability of the UDRR-based turbines and a significant reduction of related repair and maintenance expenses during the lifespan of these power-generating turbines.

UDRR-based turbines are safe for the environment because of the absence of any harmful emissions, low noise generated by slow-rotating turbines, and safe for any animals or any form of sea life (including any size of fish or marine mammals) in case of possible collision with turbine’s body. This is important feature which makes them more compliant with current environmental regulations in Canada and other countries and increase chances of getting approvals for installation and working permits.

Tidewind power-generating systems offer the following benefits:

• ● Simple design with minimum rotating parts and control systems results in high reliability of our power generation turbines.
• ● Lower production costs due to using modern manufacturing technologies and existing commercial power generating units.
• ● Lower supporting structure construction and installation costs.
• ● Overall lower initial investment is required.
• ● Lower repair, service and maintenance costs during service life.
• ● Lower cost of removal and utilizations of power generating systems at the end of their lifecycle.
• ● Turbines are safe for natural environment and for any form of wildlife of marine life.
