The FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility at Edinburgh University has secured the ‘Best Innovation’ prize at this year’s Scottish Renewables Green Energy Awards.
The world-leading ocean energy test facility – which can replicate both waves and tides in its unique 25 metre circular pool – landed the prestigious innovation award at a ceremony held in Edinburgh last night.
Commenting on the award, FloWave Chief Executive Officer Stuart Brown said:
“This award is a tremendous accolade for FloWave in its first year of operation. It gives well-deserved recognition of the collective effort of many dedicated professional engineers and academics whose combined vision and effort over a number of years has allowed this unique concept for an ocean test facility to come to fruition.”
As well as winning the Best Innovation award, the FloWave facility was also shortlisted in the Engineering Excellence category.
