💨 Abstract

For over six years, a turbine off Scotland’s coast has successfully harvested tidal energy, marking a milestone in the technology's durability and commercial viability. This achievement, involving a turbine from the MeyGen project, demonstrates the potential for larger tidal energy farms. The turbine, maintained by Swedish company SKF, has operated without unplanned maintenance, addressing skepticism about long-term operations in harsh marine environments.
