Wave

Scotland has access to a large wave energy resource, with the potential to generate … GW of power. Technology is being developed to access this energy, but there are engineering challenges to be overcome.

RENEW-NET has experience in the following areas:

• Edinburgh – design, build & test electrical generators; system modelling of wave energy converters; hydrodynamic modelling of wave devices; resource estimation & measurement; control of wave energy devices; small scale testing in wave tanks; grid connection & network analysis.

• Glasgow -design, build and testing generators and power electronic converters; grid connection & network analysis.

• Strathclyde - design, build and testing generators and power electronic converters; grid connection & network analysis.
