ENGIE, formerly known as GDF SUEZ, has restated the company’s commitment to power generation from renewable sources. According to ENGIE, fossil fuels will no longer be sufficient to meet global energy demand after 2050, which is expected to double, which is why renewables have been a very important
Aveillant held a week of demonstrations proving Holographic Radar’s capability by tracking an aircraft in true 3D and real-time. The demonstrations, held at Deenethorpe Airfield in July, were attended by more than 60 people from airports, OEMs, regulators and wind farm developers. David Crisp, CEO o
Through the combined effort of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), the Marine Institute and Commissioners of Irish Lights, the final piece of equipment has been deployed to give researchers and ocean energy developers unique insight into the Galway bay marine environment. The Galway
Stonehenge Metals has completed the functional ocean based testing of the fully assembled Protean wave energy converter. The testing showed that the Protean WEC functioned as anticipated and that it was responsive to wave motion even in very low wave height conditions, according to Stonehenge. Fabri
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), the Marine Institute and Commissioners of Irish Lights have completed the construction of the Galway Bay underwater ocean observatory. The ocean observatory will enable the use of cameras, probes and sensors to permit continuous and remote live und
QED Naval has launched the Subhub operational model last week at Forth Estuary Engineering’s dock in Leith, UK. The Subhub tidal foundations platform is designed to commission, test, transport, install, and secure a mini array of wave and tidal turbines to the seabed. The crew finalized the setup of
