The MARLIN STAR project is the next phase in the development and commercialisation of an innovation that will enable coastal community access to stored and transferable energy from floating renewables. It supports several of the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development and particularly #7 'Affordable and Clean Energy'. It will revolutionise traditional...

The aim of the Instream Tidal Energy Research (InTER) project is to design, build and test a 100 kW tidal energy device featuring two vertical axis turbines on a floating research platform. The project will develop a new platform technology that will enable Instream Energy Systems (Instream) to make the step from inland hydrokinetics and access tidal reso...

Wave, tidal and offshore floating wind arrays could supply a significant amount (up to 20%) of the UK's energy needs. However, current weaknesses in mooring lines present a barrier for developers who are attempting to harness and exploit this energy source. This project is focused on investigating the feasibility of producing state-of-the-art multi-materi...

Two of the major costs in mooring arrays will be the installation and the cost of top end connections of the mooring line to the device. This study seeks to prove out the technology of using fibre rope operating through a nylon lined fixed fairlead to replace conventional wire or chain systems. This concept may deliver a step-change reduction in CAPEX, OP...
