Octue Ltd

Ocean Array Systems Ltd, has been funded by Innovate UK to conduct a feasibility study into the development of a Data Analysis and Management Service (DAMS). This grant is provided to help small companies to develop ideas for new or enhanced products. Ocean Array Systems is a Cambridge-based software development company working in the wind and tidal renew...

The wind energy industry needs more accurate and efficient tools to calculate unsteady loads. These tools (for in-service use) will inform yield and asset life decisions. They will be used to reduce O&M costs and hence LCoE. Ocean Array Systems and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult have won support from Innovate UK for their Simulation to enable Asse...

The flow through tidal passages is, by nature, extremely turbulent and this flow speed variability affects the reliability and efficiency of energy extraction and the operational risks for in-stream turbines. The accurate measurement and numerical modelling of turbulence for these conditions is, therefore, important for designing and deploying any tidal t...

Ocean Array Systems has developed an algorithm that allows the effects of marine turbulence on tidal stream turbines to be predicted from minimal, and in some cases already available, sets of marine survey data. We think that we have spotted a gap in the market: current offerings are either computationally intensive, and/or do not reflect important aspect...

Ocean Array Systems (OAS) has developed an algorithm for the purpose of controlling and managing tidal stream farms (as well as offshore wind turbines and wave energy converters).The algorithm has a number of novel features not previously considered - in particular, attention is paid to issues surrounding unsteady flow and operational/logistical/ constrai...
