The Effective Lifetime Extension in the Marine Environment for Tidal Energy (ELEMENT) project has created an intelligent control system within a tidal energy turbine that could potentially reduce costs by over 17.7%. The ELEMENT project of eleven partners, including tidal energy developers Nova Inno
The design engineers from the University of Edinburgh, together with Tocardo Turbines, have manufactured a new tidal turbine blade which could lead to the reduction of the levelized cost of tidal energy. The blade was manufactured in Scotland for the first time and more cheaply than before, with the
Tony Lewis, CTO of OceanEnergy, also known as the ‘father of ocean energy’, has been selected as the recipient of the 2023 Vi Maris Award for his contribution to advancing wave and tidal energy and technology. Vi Maris, meaning ‘power of the sea, is an industry award established by Ocean Energy Euro
Scotland-based renewable energy company Orbital Marine Power, together with its project partners, has been selected by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Programme to deliver a multi-turbine tidal energy project EURO-TIDES. EURO-TIDES is the EUROpean Tidal energy pilot farm focused on Industri
CorPower Ocean has signed an agreement with steel company SSAB to explore the development of one of the world’s first wave energy power plants using fossil-free steel. Under the agreement, SSAB will deliver the fossil-free steel to CorPower Ocean to be used as a structural material to build a wave e
