A renewable energy project has successfully concluded a four-month trial in the UK North Sea, demonstrating the feasibility of utilising a subsea battery system powered by a wave energy device

Edinburgh-based tidal energy company Nova Innovation has doubled the size of the ‘world’s first’ offshore tidal array

The Princess Royal visited the testing facility of a €10 million project

The new CorPower 4 device will form part of a four-system HiWave-5 project, off the coast of Aguçadoura in Portugal – creating what is claimed will be the world’s first grid-connected wave farms

The funding supports eight projects that will make up the first round of open-water testing at the PacWave South test site, off the Oregon coast

The Swedish-headquartered developer CorPower has developed what is described as the world’s largest wave energy test rig

The projects aim to advance wave energy technologies towards commercial viability

A new study aims to explore the ability of a wave energy converter to decarbonise offshore oil and gas operations

The projects aim to overcome challenges of devices that capture the energy generated by waves and convert it into a renewable source of electricity

Innovators are being sought to identify how marine geospatial data can be used to find suitable sites for offshore wind, tidal and wave energy infrastructure projects
