Fred. Olsen’s wave energy device Bolt Lifesaver has been deployed off the coast of Hawaii, USA. The device was deployed at Navy’s Kaneohe Bay Wave Energy Test Site (WETS) last week, the Pacific Business News reports. Prior to the deployment, the device has been refurbished and prepared for the insta
Tidal Energy Today has compiled the top news from tidal and wave energy industry from March 21 – 27, 2016.
Check out the video showing the recently deployed EcoSPRAY marine structure designed to gather data in order to gain better understanding of floating tidal energy platforms and their moorings.
The Waveswing America team, one of the finalists in the Wave Energy Prize challenge, is preparing its 1:20 scale wave energy device model ahead of June testing at Carderock MASK basin.
The pilot Marine Spatial Plan has been prepared for the Pentland Firth and Orkney (PFOW) waters which will guide the development activity in the area, including the renewable energy generation.
German-based Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB) tested the DeDaVe, a new autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), at the PLOCAN test site.
The Marine Renewable Energy Collaborative (MRECo) has received funding from the Massachusetts Seaport Economic Council to develop a tidal energy test site in the Cape Cod Canal.
Amber Rudd, the UK Secretary of State for Energy & Climate Change, has strongly supported the UK staying in the EU citing various benefits of it staying in the Union.
The researchers from the UMass Dartmouth have received $239,898 through the Commonwealth’s Seaport Economic Council Program to conduct research and development activities in wave energy. The team from the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Dartmouth is designing a flexible, tethered line to replace
Take a look at the video showing Eco Wave Power’s wave energy plant during stormy conditions – with storm protection mechanism designed to protect the floats from damage – in action.
The impact of Brexit on the UK energy sector is very likely to be negative, with the energy costs rising to £500 million per year if the UK leaves the European Union, according to the report commissioned by the National Grid.
Researchers from the University of Exeter have tested a new sea-going robot that can map the seabed using its own intelligence which could prove favorable for offshore industry.
Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) has led the launch of the EcoSPRAY, a marine structure designed to gather data to verify the behaviour of floating tidal energy platforms and their moorings in high-energy turbulent tidal flows. The research program is designed to gain a better understanding of the imp
Developers should pay more attention to the needs of island communities when consulting on harnessing their potential as sources of renewable energy, a study suggests.
