He plans to put hundreds of floating turbines up to 200km off the Scottish coast, making him one of the pioneers of new technology designed to harness the greater wind speeds further out at sea.
The MK1 turbine is a 1.5 MW version based on the AH1000 design and was deployed as part of the first phase of the MeyGen array, with three MK1 units
The North Sea holds approximately two-thirds (∼19 GW) of the globally installed offshore wind energy (OWE) capacity. The OWE industry is expected to progressively expand in the North Sea by 2050, with a target of 300 GW set by the European Commission. Such large-scale development would b Offshore wind turbines can cause collisions and a change in
The Floating Tidal Energy Commercialisation (FloTEC) project, led by Orbital Marine Power, aimed to demonstrate how floating tidal systems can provide low-cost, high-value energy
6 · The US Department of Energy (DoE)is set to explore the potential of underwater turbines with the hopes of making them more efficient and cost-effective. If successful,
The giant sea turbine called Kairyu looks like a 330-ton airplane. It features t wo counter-rotating turbine fans that are connected by a massive fuselage and it functions by floating while
2 · Wind turbines and electrical substation of Alpha Ventus Offshore Wind Farm in the North Sea. Offshore wind power or offshore wind energy is the generation of electricity through wind farms in bodies of water,
Mechanical noise from tidal turbines is a result of vibrations from their gearboxes and generators. Commonly, the highest levels of tonal noise are produced by the meshing of teeth in the gearbox. Typically, gearboxes have three step-up stages — the low-speed stage, intermediate stage, and high-speed stage — which produce tonal vibrations
Japan is already the world''s third largest generator of solar power and is investing heavily in offshore wind, but harnessing ocean currents could provide the
4 · Ocean current turbines are thought to be of great promise as a source of future renewable energy in Japan. Since 2011, IHI and NEDO have been jointly developing an

A new technology that harnesses the power of ocean currents could provide a clean and limitless form of renewable energy, some scientists say. A group of scientists
Once elevated, the vessel becomes a platform where the recently upgraded crane, now capable of lifting more than 1600 tons, can install the tower sections, nacelle and blades for each turbine. "When Sea Installer lifts itself up from the ocean floor and begins to install turbines for this first-in-the-nation project, we will literally be
Japan''s solar potential isn''t great, but it does sit right next to one of the world''s most powerful ocean currents – so the country is searching for novel ways to bulk up its green energy
White-tailed sea eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) exhibit one of the highest mortality rates at wind power plants (WPPs) among raptor species in Europe, but data on circumstances of collision and behavioral response to WPPs are scarce.We analyzed the effect of WPPs on movement patterns of sea eagles in Germany with satellite telemetry.
Known as "sea dragons" or "tidal kites", they look like aircraft, but these are in fact high-tech tidal turbines, generating electricity from the power of the ocean.
A tidal turbine weighing 680 metric tons and dubbed "the world''s most powerful" has started grid-connected power generation at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney, an archipelago
For turbines mounted at the bottom of the sea, that can be costly. "An issue with that is it can cost thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, (of dollars and [require] days and weeks of time to
Japan is dropping a massive 330-ton turbine power generator onto the ocean floor just off the country''s coast in a bid to source theoretically limitless renewable energy. Over the past decade,
