Why APPI: In the case of a turbine powered by ocean tides and currents, it’s a case of what goes down must come up. For the Marine Renewable Energy Collaborative – New Enland (MRECNE) lowering and lifting their 100 kilowatt turbine 13 feet from deck level to its submerged working position was complicated by both limited electrical power on the site and the corrosive marine atmosphere in which it was situated.
To meet their application requirements, we provided one of our Columbia HL12000 AC electric turbine hoists that was prepped for the location with appropriate paint and fasteners. Since being installed it has performed flawlessly and MRECNE plans to incorporate this hoist in their future energy producing sites.
