Model experiments for the MTG (Modular Tidal Generators) have been conducted at the Ocean Basin of the COAST Laboratory of University of Plymouth. The twin-hull concept of the MTG was tested. The tidal turbine was supported by the platform with two floating hulls. The turbine was modelled as a porous disc. Both fixed and floating (with mooring) tests were conducted. This paper reports the model experiments set-up and some preliminary results are presented and discussed.
