German wave energy developer NEMOS has started a project in the field of respiratory ventilators to support Covid-19 treatments. Within the non-profit initiative Breathing Aid, a design has been developed that can be realized at large quantities with available industrial components. This initiative
UK-based geotechnical specialist Ternan Energy is supporting CorPower within the UMACK (Universal Mooring, Anchor & Connectivity Kit) demonstration project. Ternan is providing geotechnical and foundation design support to the project, with focus on investigating the practical deployment of screw pi
Two consortia have secured just under £1 million funding from Wave Energy Scotland (WES) to demonstrate the potential of new applications of materials to bring down the cost of wave power. Consultant engineers Arup will lead a consortium which aims to show that pre-cast reinforced concrete can be in
Malin Renewables has recently received the steel to kick off the fabrication works for AWS Ocean Energy’s Archimedes Waveswing wave power generation device. In February this year, Malin Renewables secured a £1-million contract from AWS to supply a fifty-tonne wave energy converter. Malin will build
Irish company DesignPro Renewables said it has achieved new performance milestones with its hydrokinetic turbine as part of ongoing testing at the SEENEOH test site in Bordeaux, France. The turbine generates energy from flowing water and has been deployed at a dedicated test site on the River Garonn
EnBW reported an adjusted EBITDA of EUR 482.8 million in the Renewable Energies division in 2019, a 62.2% rise compared to the previous year. According to EnBW, the growth is due to the overall improvement in wind conditions at offshore and onshore wind farms in Germany, as well as due to earnings c
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researchers are working with industry, tribal, government, and national laboratory partners to more effectively harness Alaska’s marine energy resources. NREL-led assessments are helping the remote tribal village of Igiugig identify self-sustaining microgr
ETIP Ocean and DTOceanPlus have rescheduled the webinar aimed to describe the general concepts of the ocean energy systems Structured Innovation Design Tool. The webinar, rescheduled due to technical problems last week, will now take place on 6 April, at the same time at 3 pm BST / 4 pm CEST. The th
SIMEC Atlantis Energy has been awarded a £1.5-million grant from the Scottish Government’s Saltire Tidal Energy Challenge Fund to develop a subsea tidal turbine connection hub for the next phase of development of the MeyGen tidal power array. The Saltire Tidal Energy Fund is a £10-million fund suppo
Europe still leads the world in tidal energy installations, and European tidal stream projects generated 50 per cent more electricity in 2019 than the year before, according to statistics released by Ocean Energy Europe (OEE). European tidal stream capacity continued to climb in 2019, reaching 27.7
Fife fabricators AJS Production has kicked off work on Mocean Energy’s Blue Star wave energy prototype, which is scheduled to be deployed in Orkney this autumn. The 20-metre-long device will undergo a number of sea trials before generating its first power. AJS managing director Raymond Imrie, said:
The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney recently became a supporting member of the Australian Ocean Energy Group (AOEG). UNSW’s involvement in this initiative was led by Dr François Flocard, Principal Engineer at the Water Research Laboratory of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineer
Eco Wave Power has set up a new combined wave and solar system in the EWP grid-connected wave energy power station in Gibraltar. Eco Wave Power integrated eight solar panels on the surface of its eight floaters, operational in Gibraltar. Each panel has the installed capacity of 330 watts, thus, all
The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) has said that due to the global COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, as of today, 17 March 2020, the Orkney Renewable and Innovation Campus (ORIC) will restrict public access to the Robert Rendall and Charles Clouston buildings.
