The Fri-El seapower system consists of a vessel or pontoon, moored to seabed, to which several lines of horizontal axis hydro turbines are attached. The same pipes, connecting the turbines through cardanic joints providing the necessary flexibility to the system, transfer the power captured from the water on board of the pontoon. Pipes are here connected to electrical permanent magnet…

Online 2024Offshore wind energy is witnessing remarkable growth, driven by the global shift towards sustainable and renewable energy sources. A pivotal innovation in this domain is floating offshore wind technology, which represents a transformative opportunity in harnessing wind energy from deep waters, where conventional fixed-bottom offshore wind systems face limitations due to depth constraints and escalating costs. Considering regional commitments to lower carbon emissions in energy generation, the accessibility of deep-water zones, rich in offshore wind resources, becomes increasingly critical. Though there are promising prospects, this webinar will share an overview of how floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) developments present intricate challenges encompassing design, installation, and operational logistics. Oceantic Network’s new monthly Research + Innovation Webinar Series features the latest research in offshore wind and ocean renewables. Network members will share updates on groundbreaking technologies, scientific advancements, and technical insights from around the globe that can be directly applied to project development and industry growth. Our goal is to unpack the intricacies of emergent issues, diving into the details that matter most to those at the forefront of the industry.

The Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon (SBTL) will be the world’s first purpose-built tidal energy lagoon. The 320MW pathfinder project aims to provide a scalable blueprint for tidal lagoons, opening up the option of a fleet of larger UK tidal lagoons to generate renewable electricity. The project is situated at Swansea Port, approximately 2.2km southeast of Swansea city centre. The Lagoon will…

BioWAVETM is a point-absorber wave energy converter with integrated power take-off, O-DriveTM, and shore connection for grid integration. It is a bottom-mounted pitching device that spans the water column and absorbs energy both from heaving motion at the surface and pitching motion, from subsurface back-and-forth motion. The installed 250kW pilot device has three cylindrical buoyant ‘blades’…

Platform for Ocean Energy (PLAT-O) is a submerged taut moored, buoyant, subsea reaction sub-system, which acts as a support structure for tidal turbines. When in operation, the platform positions the turbines in the optimum high flow, low wave region of the water column for the extraction of energy from the tidal stream. PLAT-O has been designed to maximize power capture while minimizing…

The Wave Dragon technology is a floating slack moored wave energy converter. The larger versions of Wave Dragon with 4MW or more installed power are moored in relatively deep water to take advantage of the ocean waves before they lose energy as they reach the coastal area. The device allows ocean waves to overtop a ramp, which elevates water to a reservoir above sea level.…
