Dutch Equinox Ocean Turbines (EQOT) is about to start open-water testing of its ocean current platform to gather data required for de-risking and advancing the technology toward commercial deployment.
The open-water testing of the Mobula 5 1:10 prototype will begin in Friesland, the Netherlands, on July 11-16, with the campaign expected to advance the technology to technology readiness level (TRL) 6, demonstrating system performance in real-world ocean conditions and validating key assumptions required for commercial-scale deployment.
