Orbital Marine Power’s tidal stream turbine technology has been recognised by the iF Design Awards, which were announced today. The winning technology was developed through a strategic design partnership with Designworks, the innovation studio for the BMW Group and global creative consultancy. The awards, which received almost 10,000 submissions from 60 countries in 2020, identified the collaborative work of Orbital and Designworks as a winning design within the Professional Concept category. Orbital and Designworks announced their design partnership last year when they released concept images of Orbital’s floating energy generation technology, with the utility scale Orbital OA model and a smaller Riverkinetic model included in the line-up.
