Wave energy technology developer Mocean’s Blue X prototype has started final checks before sea trials this summer off Scotland.
The 10kW device, which is 20-metres-long and weighs 38 tonnes, will be deployed at the European Marine Energy Centre (Emec) Scapa Flow test berth, and then move to the offshore R&D facility’s grid-connected site at Billia Croo, off the west coast of Orkney.
“Our programme at Emec will allow us to prove our concept at sea, particularly that its novel hull shapes will produce more power than traditional raft designs,” said Mocean managing director Cameron McNatt.
