Tidal Energy Today has compiled the top news from tidal and wave energy industry from July 10 – 16, 2017.
The local community action group for the Pembrokeshire area Transition Bro Gwaun has reportedly secured a little over £93,000 to develop a tidal energy project off Wales.
Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) has tested the concept for floating mega island which could be powered by tidal and wave energy.
Two Andritz Hydro Hammerfest (AHH) tidal turbines have generated more than 100MWh of clean energy to the UK grid in less than one week after their redeployment at MeyGen site.
C-Job Naval Architects has unveiled an initial design of an offshore wind Operations & Maintenance (O&M) vessel capable of servicing the needs of next generation far offshore wind farms.
Oregon State University (OSU) researchers have conducted a study into the relation of sediment and animal life on the sea floor which could simplify the development of wave and wind renewable energy sites in the Pacific Northwest.
Australia’s tidal energy resource will be mapped in unprecedented detail in a new study funded by the Commonwealth Government through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). ARENA has provided $2.49 million in funding support for the three year project which will explore the future potential
Yourbrook Energy Systems has deployed its tidal energy prototype for another set of trials off Haida Gwaii in Canadian Province of British Columbia.
Although Europe has experience and knowledge in O&M of offshore wind farms, the O&M strategies employed in Europe cannot be copied one-on-one in the U.S. or Asia, a recent study carried out by the Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) shows.
The Carbon Trust’s Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA), a collaborative RD&D programme funded by nine offshore wind developers and the Scottish Government, has launched a competition targeted at finding new ways to inspect offshore wind substructures and reduce the cost of offshore wind. The competition
The Carbon Trust’s Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) has launched a competition targeted at finding new ways to inspect offshore wind substructures and reduce the cost of offshore wind.
The founder of Ecotricity, Dale Vince, has called the UK government to ‘resist the pressure’ to grant support for the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon stating that the proposed project is too expensive.
Carnegie Clean Energy has over the past weeks received around $655,000 of government grant funding for its microgrid and wave energy projects.
Research and technology organisation TWI has started a new project to reportedly advance the decommissioning of offshore structures. Namely, TWI is developing decommissioning technology for use in deep and hazardous waters. This will consist of a laser cutting solution that can be deployed remotely
