The 110&nbsp;kW HyTide 110–5.3 turbine was tested in southern [[South Korea]], near [[Jindo (island)|Jindo island]] in 2010, a 1/3rd scale prototype. This had a 5.33&nbsp;m diameter rotor, 22&nbsp;m<sup>2</sup> swept area. The turbine was designed to be simple, with a direct-drive generator (without gearbox) and no yaw or blade pitch adjustment. It also had no dynamic seals, thus the generator was cooled by seawater. The turbine was prototype certified by [[Germanischer Lloyd]].<ref>{{Cite conference |lastlast1=Arlitt |firstfirst1=Raphael |last2=Argyriadis |first2=K |date=2010-10-06 |title=Development and Certification of the Voith Hydro HyTide® 110 Tidal turbine |url=https://www.ocean-energy-systems.org/documents/17094-icoe2010-r.arlitt.pdf/ |conference=3rd International Conference on Ocean Energy, 6 October, Bilbao}}</ref>
