Minesto introduces a new range of power plants the Dragon Class - an upgraded design of the company's Deep Green technology for predictable renewable electricity generation from tidal and ocean currents. Featuring increased performance and decreased manufacturing costs, the Dragon Class will be delivered and installed in all of Minesto's ongoing projects as well as in the build-out of the company's first array projects. Using extensive CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) modelling, ocean scale model testing and operational data from the grid-connected DG100 units in Vestmannasund, Minesto's technology development team has been able to improve the energy conversion and at the same time refine the power plant by reducing the number of power plant subsystems and components. With the Dragon Class Minesto also strengthens its patent portfolio as innovations related to the upgraded design have resulted in new patent applications. The Dragon Class design scales effectively and will thus be available in different sizes and rated power tailored for maximum yield depending on site conditions such as water flow rate and depth.
