Wave energy converter (WEC) modelling team, sponsored by the US Energy Department, has won the Center for Ocean Energy Research (COER) Hydrodynamic Modeling Competition. Through the competition, researchers were challenged to predict the dynamic motion of a floating body in an irregular wave field u
To help DONG Energy gain a better understanding of the effects of wave loads on offshore wind turbine foundations including secondary structures, DHI has performed physical model tests and conducted numerical simulations to analyse wave-structure interaction. DONG Energy wanted to gain a better unde
Nova Scotia and British Columbia signed a memorandum of understanding, which outlines key priorities, including partnering on research and technology development, and sharing information and best practices in regulation and permitting for marine renewable energy industry. “To advance Canada’s positi
An industry led sub-group of Marine Energy Pembrokeshire (MEP) has recently provided recommendations to assist Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and Welsh Government in streamlining the marine energy consenting process in Wales. In 2014, a consenting subgroup was established with the primary aim of revi

CalWave is developing a wave energy converter whose design is inspired by the ability of muddy seafloors to effectively absorb overpassing ocean waves. Researchers participating in CalWave project came up with the idea of using a viscoelastic carpet of wave-energy conversion (CWEC) placed over a net
The Danish Energy Agency (DEA) has issued a call for applications for a new offshore wind technology test scheme of 50 MW. The deadline for applications is 15 October 2015 and the first commitments are expected to be assigned within the end of the year. The test scheme aims to develop new and innova

Nova Scotia and the United Kingdom announced two new international research grants, worth $1.43 million, to help governments, industry and researchers better understand the effect tidal technology has on the marine environment, and the impact of the marine environment on that technology. This is the
Five British companies are celebrating after they received grant funding from the Government’s innovation experts at Innovate UK to develop tidal energy projects with Canadian businesses and universities. As reported earlier today, grants in the amount of £700.000 have been awarded for two projects
Along with some other researchers from the DTU Wind Energy Department, MEDOW’s researches visited the Middelgrunden offshore wind farm. The trip was led by Hans Christian Sørensen of SPOK Consultancy, who oversaw the planning and commissioning of the wind farm. MEDOW ESR Gen Li said: “After around 2
