Wave Energy Scotland has selected four projects to share just under £1.4 million with aim to cut wave power costs. The companies selected under the funding are: Apollo, Blackfish Engineering Design, Nova Innovation and Quoceant. Projects will develop technology to enable the quick connection and dis
The UK gas network operator SGN has launched a project that will be world-first to employ a direct supply of offshore wind power to produce green hydrogen energy for heating. The project will start with heating around 300 homes in Fife, Scotland, using clean gas produced by an electrolysis plant, po
Webtool has developed an autonomous subsea resettable valve for installation and use with a charged hydraulic fluid store. Activated by a steel wire rope line, the valve activation system is designed for applications where autonomous operation is needed in the event of an emergency. Constructed from
Brazilian oil and gas company Petrobras has managed to halve the costs of the post-salt well construction at its Golfinho field offshore Brazil.
Carnegie has commenced its planned wave tank testing campaign at the Cantabria Coastal and Ocean Basin in Spain. The trials will generate physical wave data aimed to validate Carnegie’s machine learning based Wave Predictor. Carnegie previously announced the development of a machine learning based W
A newly-built berthing area in the Elbe River is powered by nineteen solar panels. The panels provide power to quick-release mooring hook units with integrated capstans. Following
Fugro has selected underwater positioning technology from Sonardyne Inc. for its upcoming activities at offshore wind projects in the U.S. Fugro ordered three Sonardyne Mini-Ranger 2 Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) underwater positioning systems to support shallow-water site characterization surveys and
Bombora’s mWave wave energy converter ‘cell module’ structure has been delivered from the fabrication workshop of Altrad Services to the assembly workshop at Mainstay Marine Solutions. The full-scale ‘cell module’ is part of a Wales-built innovative marine energy solution. The cell module transporte
Electric subsea robotics specialist Saab Seaeye has developed its first seven-function all-electric work-class manipulator. According to Seaeye, it introduces an equally powerful, more precise and more intelligent manipulator than the hydraulic equivalent on WROVs. Its control system enables both ma
The construction phase of the Viking Link Interconnector project between the UK and Denmark has commenced. Siemens is mobilizing to start the construction of a 2.4-kilometre long access road for the Bicker Fen converter station site. Siemens Energy is in charge of the UK and Denmark converter statio
Eco Wave Power has won the Energy Globe Award for its combined wave and solar project in the Port of Jaffa, Israel. The Energy Globe Award was founded in 1999 by the Austrian energy pioneer Wolfgang Neumann and is one of today’s most prestigious environmental awards. Goal of the Award is to present
The first 10 MW offshore wind turbine in China was connected to the grid on July 12 at Xinghua Bay Wind Farm Phase II off the Fujian province. Dongfang Electric Corporation (DEC) sent off the prototype 10 MW offshore anti-typhoon wind turbine from its factory to the project site at the end of June.
Germany’s Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) is one of the first ports worldwide to develop solutions for its Hamburg container terminals that use machine learning (ML) to predict the dwell time of a container at the terminal.
