New research from a global group of scientists and engineers, including from the University of Southampton, has been published in a special issue journal of the Royal Society. The work is in support of tidal power, which has the potential to provide more than 20 per cent of the UK’s electricity dema
Successful trial results of the next generation of multi-purpose buoys tailored for the renewable energy industry have led to recent orders from operators in the wind energy sector. Dutch energy company Eneco has purchased Fugro’s used wind LiDAR buoy whilst a Japanese company is to deploy their buo
Renewable tidal energy sufficient to power about half of Scotland could be harnessed from a single stretch of water off the north coast of the country, engineers say. Researchers have completed the most detailed study yet of how much tidal power could be generated by turbines placed in the Pentland

Engineered Syntactic Systems (ESS), a global supplier of foam buoyancy solutions, announced plans to extend its line of high performance syntactic products to support more traditional oceanographic implementations. The addition of modular product options enables ESS to supply more customers with gre
Five years ago, J+S Limited launched into the Marine Renewables industry. Their aim was to help customers capitalise on getting power and control information from energy conversion devices to shore, specifically in the harsh environments experienced by the offshore Wind, Wave & Tidal sectors. Built
Danish Shipowners’ Association and The Shipowners’ Association of 2010 have published a report under the title Global Evaluation of Offshore Wind Shipping Opportunity. The report gives an insight into the supply and demand in the offshore wind industry. The report has been produced by BMT/Navigant w
All three wind turbine blades have been installed on the V164-8.0 MW prototype at the Danish national test centre in Østerild, Vestas announced. The company said that good weather conditions on the night of January 13 allowed the installation of all three 80m long blades of the offshore wind turbine
