利用潮汐发电的海底涡轮机将成为英国可再生能源的重要来源。
Undersea turbines which produce electricity from the tides are set to become an important source of renewable energy for Britain.
单是位于奥克尼和苏格兰大陆之间的彭特兰湾发电站，就可以利用海底涡轮机产生10%的全国发电量。
One site alone, the Pentland Firth, between Orkney and mainland Scotland, could produce 10% of the country's electricity with banks of turbines under the sea.
发电机产生的电力将通过海底电缆输送到海岸。
The electricity produced is then sent to shore through a subsea cable.
虽然在大西洋沿岸已有数条海底电力传输线运行，不过这条传输线却是首次尝试收集沿线发电机产生的电能。
There are already some undersea transmission lines running off the Atlantic Coast, but this is the first line that will collect power from generators along the way.
最近，挪威和荷兰达成协议，挪威水力发电和荷兰的风电将通过海底电缆互换。
Norway and Holland recently agreed to connect via an undersea cable so as to exchange Norway’s hydropower and Holland’s complimentary wind.
但是，建造大型涡轮机并且把它牢牢地固定在海底费用巨大，因此风力发电被限制在浅海一带。
But building a massive turbine and anchoring it firmly to the seafloor is expensive. So wind power is restricted to shallow seas.
