40South Energy’s H24 machine can work both as wave and tidal unit. H24 machine consists of a guiding part located on the sea floor, or on a support structure, and of a moving part above it, which moves according to waves or tides. The machine uses WT25 power train. The mooring is provided by gravity
Scuba diving exposes you to many effects, including immersion, cold, hyperbaric gases, elevated breathing pressure, exercise and stress, as well as a postdive risk of gas bubbles circulating in your blood. Your heart’s capacity to support an elevated blood output decreases with age and with disease.
Strainstall has been selected to provide a monitoring package to support the prototype testing of Marine Power Systems’ WaveSub wave energy device. The design and deployment of sensors, coupled with monitoring system is expected to deliver an integrated solution to provide performance information. P
Strainstall, part of James Fisher and Sons plc, has been selected to provide a complex monitoring package to support the prototype testing of WaveSub™, a wave power harnessing device from Marine Power Systems (MPS). Phase one of the monitoring solution will apply Strainstall’s complex data acquisiti
Small and medium sized ports (SMPs) have a triple role to play in marine energy developments, it was concluded at BEPPo project’s conference. The Port of Oostende organised the BEPPo (Blue Energy Production in Ports) conference ‘Ports as hubs for marine renewable energy projects’ at the Greenbridge

Sustainable Marine Energy (SME) has signed a long term testing contract with the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC). SME has secured one of the berths at the Fall of Warness tidal test site where it will deploy five PLAT-O systems in an array over the next two years. This array will host Schottel
DNV GL led Joint Industry Project (JIP) involving twenty industry players has made the first issue of a Recommended Practice for Subsea Documentation Standardisation. Working together the partners have invested considerable time to scope out and agree upon a set of typical subsea production systems
EU-funded researchers have developed a prototype wind energy system that works at much higher altitudes, where winds are stronger and more constant, dramatically increasing electricity production. A commercialised product is in the pipeline. Most wind energy comes from turbines 150 metres above grou
The 4 km subsea cable has been laid at Galway Bay, Ireland, as part of the development of Galway Bay Ocean Energy Test Site. The cable will supply power to the site and allow unlimited data transfer from the site for researchers testing innovative marine technology including renewable ocean energy d
The first trans-Atlantic mapping survey has been announced and it’s to take place under the Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance. The announcement was made by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Simon Coveney T.D., Carlos Moedas, European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation,
Sabella’s D10 tidal turbine assembly process is nearing completion in the port of Brest, France. The assembly process began early in January 2015. The turbine’s power capacity is rated up to 1 MW. The base of Sabella’s D10 tidal device is 20 by 20 meters in size. It is 17 m high, and weighs 450 [&he
RV Celtic Explorer has laid a subsea cable in Galway Bay this week marking a milestone in the development of Ireland’s national marine research and development infrastructure. The four kilometre cable, and a frame to which sensors and monitoring equipment will be attached is part of the development
