Scientists to go with flow

DEVELOPERS of marine energy devices are to benefit from a new collaboration that will help reduce the risk and cost of testing.

FloWave TT Ltd (FloWave) and the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) have agreed to share data collected at EMEC’s wave and tidal test sites in the Orkney Isles. This data will allow FloWave to replicate at scale the actual sea conditions at Orkney in its onshore test facility,to be completed at Edinburgh University next year.
