The development of the device. which is funded by Wave Energy Scotland. will allow the technology to be tested further and will give the engineering teams additional data for creating the equipment in different sizes.
Ben Sharples. Director of Malin Marine. said: This particular project enables the team to utilise their expertise in hydraulics. electrical power. air systems. pressure vessels and mooring. delivering an integral piece of equipment for the wave energy sector.
Activity will commence immediately to create the first partial-scale converter. which will work to verify the design concept.
