FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility is welcoming members of the public ‘behind closed doors’ for the annual ‘Doors Open Day’ where the ocean energy research capabilities of the facility will be showcased.
FloWave will join the research facilities at the University of Edinburgh’s King’s Buildings campus in welcoming the public on September 24, 2016.
“More than 400 visitors came to see the test facility last year’s Doors Open Day, and we’d hope to improve on that for 2016,” said FloWave CEO Stuart Brown .
“It will be a great opportunity for members of the public to see and learn about some of the research activity and R&D projects we’ve been working on for clients, and of course how we and colleagues from the University’s Institute for Energy Systems can use the facility to help society transition to a planet-friendly low-carbon economy using the almost limitless power of the ocean.”
Doors will be open from 10 am to 4 pm, with the tank operational between 11 am and 3 pm, FloWave informed.
FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility is owned by the University of Edinburgh, and is designed for academic research into wave and tidal current interactions.
