The team behind Wales’ national marine energy test facility, META, has welcomed the first deployment of a new open-source tool to measure high quality turbulence data in its pre-consented test site in Milford Haven.
Le Havre Normandy University is carrying out a study at the Paimpol-Bréhat tidal test site which could contribute to the improvement of the quality of tidal turbine blades as part of the EU-backed cross-border Tidal Stream Industry Energiser Project (TIGER).
Swedish company Waves4Power has formed a strategic alliance with U.S.-based clean charging technology developer EnergyTwo to harness solar, wave power and energy storage to meet the increased demand for electrification and on-site charging for clean electric machines.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researchers are exploring ways to significantly advance the wave energy sector by developing concepts in which many small energy converters can be aggregated to create a single structure.
Scottish wave energy developer AWS Ocean Energy has reached a milestone in the construction of its Waveswing wave energy device, having joined two large concentric cylinders to give the device its final shape.
Marine-i project has been engaged by Community Energy Plus (CEP) and Cornwall Offshore Renewable Energy Ventures (COREV) to support the detailed research and feasibility studies on the development of small-scale tidal range solution for Hayle Harbour.
Portuguese electric utility EDP has secured the final license for the installation of a floating solar farm with 12,000 panels in Alqueva Reservoir.
The development of a 17.5MW tidal energy farm, planned for Raz Blanchard in the French region of Normandy, is gaining momentum with the newly established partnership between French tidal turbine designer and manufacturer HydroQest and independent renewable power producer Qair.
The Interreg Atlantic Area-funded Blue-GIFT programme has awarded recommendations for support to three marine renewable energy projects under its third and final call to test and validate technologies in real sea environment.
As ships grow larger with increased draft and harbors continue to silt, the demand for modern dredges continues to grow. The acknowledged masters of the design and operation of these are the lowland countries, the Netherlands and Belgium. It came as no surprise when, a few years ago, the Dutch firm
Carnegie Clean Energy has improved the performance of its CETO wave energy device through the implementation of advanced controllers, increasing the energy extracted for 27%.
Swedish bearing and seal manufacturing company SKF Group has worked together with CorPower Ocean on the optimisation of the design of a new class of wave energy converters.
Netherlands-based wave energy start-up Dutch Wave Power has conducted a series of tests on its wave energy technology at Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN).
Swedish company Novige has received a new float for its NoviOcean wave energy device that will soon be put to tank tests in France.
