Cologne University of Applied Science (CUAS) and DB Sediments have introduced an innovative, highly accurate density measurement device for hetero and homogeneous liquid-solid mixtures. The density measurement of hetero and homogeneous liquid-solid mixtures plays a crucial role in various fields of
Ireland’s Department of Jobs, through Science Foundation Ireland, has awarded multi-million funding for marine renewable energy research projects to MaREI, MARINET, and their university research partners. A total of 21 research projects will be supported through €28 million investment in research eq
Tidal Lagoon Power (TLP) has formed a Fisheries Peer Review Group to act as independent advisors on the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon impacts on fish. The aim of the Fisheries Peer Review Group is to advise Tidal Lagoon Power and the fisheries research contractors on the methodology being adopted for the
Norwegian Ocean Power (NOP) has applied for a licence to Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) to test tidal turbine in Gimsøystraumen, north of the Arctic Circle, Norway. Norwegian-based tidal energy developer expects to receive the licence from NVE mid-March 2017 if the consultati
The initial stages of a project looking at biofouling solutions for marine renewables has been completed by the International Centre of Island Technology (ICIT), in collaboration with the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) and Heriot-Watt’s Energy Academy. The project was focused on the developmen
ECN has confirmed that the Fugro Oceanor Seawatch floating LiDAR is in the pre-commercial stage according to the Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) roadmap for the commercial acceptance of floating LiDAR technology.

Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center (NNMREC) researchers have deployed SWIFT buoys from a helicopter to assess the extremely stormy conditions in the Pacific ocean, off Oregon, USA. The Surface Wave Instrument Float with Tracking (SWIFT) is a free drifting system to measure waves, wind
Danish transmission system operator Energinet.dk will be working with Lloyd’s Register (LR) on measuring underwater sound propagation for the Horns Rev 3 wind farm substation development. Energinet.dk will take on installation of the substation for guiding the electricity into the onshore grid. The
Some of the EU’s environmental directives present regulatory burdens that hinder tidal and wave energy sectors growth, said Stephanie Merry, Head of the Renewable Energy Association’s (REA) Ocean Energy Group.
The FaBTest marine energy testing site off Falmouth Bay, Cornwall, has seen record-breaking waves brought to the site location by the New Year storms. FaBTest measured waves 9.3 metres high as Storm Frank passed over the site location, surpassing the previous largest wave in the bay which was seen o
New Jersey’s Senate yesterday approved a bill that clears the path for Fishermen’s Energy to build the proposed 25MW wind farm off Atlantic City. The state Senate voted 28-9 in favour of the Wind Energy Projects S2711. The bill, which was passed by the Assembly by a 48-21 vote on December 17, permit
