FloWave and Rockland Scientific join forces in turbulent waters

摘要

Two of the leading organisations in ocean energy research have pledged to work together to measure and understand the impact of turbulence on wave and tidal energy devices. The FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility at Edinburgh University, UK, and Canadian marine turbulence specialist Rockland Scientific will work together to develop tank-scale turbulence measurement technology, which can also be deployed at sea, on both sides of the Atlantic. The two organisations - which already completed a first round of technology testing in 2014 - announced the collaboration agreement at FloWave during an ocean energy trade mission from Nova Scotia, Canada, organised by Scottish Development International, the international arm of Scottish Enterprise, and the Nova Scotia Department of Energy.
