Tidal Energy Ltd will take part in All-Energy 2014, looking for partners to help commercialize the revolutionary DeltaStream Tidal technology. The company will be located at stand H53, at this year’s event to be held on 21-22 May in Aberdeen. Tidal Energy is preparing to install and test a single De
The American Chemical Society has published a paper on a new way to harvest wave energy. Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems at Chinese Academy of Sciences and School of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology gave their contribution to this report, which loo
Peter Kydd, chairman of the South West Marine Energy Park, claims that tidal lagoons would be a more feasible solution for harnessing tidal power from the Severn Estuary than a barrage, WalesOnline informs. “Having a structured plan to develop the Severn’s tidal power resource in this way could prod
A new paper, released by AIP Publishing, has been looking into the possibility of developing offshore wind power in the North Aegean Sea, Greece. The study found that the Greek archipelago, and especially the island of Limnos, has the sufficient offshore wind potential at low depths and at relativel
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) this week selected two additional projects, which will get funds to demonstrate wave energy converter component technologies. Dresser-Rand will develop and test a power take-off component that converts pneumatic power into electricity for oscillating water columns
The European Parliament endorsed on April 17th a Directive for Maritime Spatial Planning which should help Member States develop plans to better coordinate the various activities that take place at sea, ensuring they are as efficient and sustainable as possible. In coastal and maritime areas, many a
Three large offshore wind players, DONG Energy, E.ON and Strabag have established a joint venture company to perform an environmental study in waters off Borkum in the German North Sea. The joint venture aims at not only reducing the project costs of offshore wind farms, but also at mitigating their
A multidisciplinary consortium of six private and public organisations from five European countries, led by the French wind power specialist ASAH LM, will develop an innovative concept of floating wind turbine on GustoMSC’s Tri-Floater. Other members include: SSP Technology the Danish leading blade
The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) has welcomed the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Report on Mitigation of Climate Change. The IPCC report highlights that whilst there are many pathways to emissions reduction the specific circumstances of individual countries and pref
In support of the Administration’s all of the above energy strategy, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a draft loan guarantee solicitation for innovative renewable energy and energy efficiency projects located in the U.S. that avoid, reduce, or sequester greenhouse gases. When finalized
In the field of wave energy conversion, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) has launched a project focusing on the control of wave energy conversion systems, aimed at increasing energy production via the appropriate control strategies. To this end, IFPEN is working with various technological solution dev
Drawing on its considerable experience in the field of offshore oil production, which resulted in bringing to market numerous innovations, in 2011, IFP Energies nouvelles turned its attention to research aimed at coming up with technologies enabling the development of offshore wind power, along with
The Great Britain’s electricity grid can accommodate up to a 20% contribution from wind power without the need for significant upgrades to the system and using existing balancing mechanisms, according to a report published by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE). Beyond 20%, however, managing the
MACAW Engineering is investing in the latest technology to provide inspections and surveys at challenging locations. MACAW, which acts as an integrity management consultant to global oil & gas production plants, pipelines, and other energy facilities, has purchased a fleet of Small Unmanned Aerial S
