5th March 2021 11:52 am 5th March 2021 3:31 pm Scientists in Scotland and Wales are trialling a new method of measuring tidal currents using drones, aiming to ‘revolutionise’ marine renewable energy. Led by researchers from the University of the Highlands and Islands, the project will use drones to film the movement of water then apply algorithms to determine its speed. The team believes that the technique could provide a simple solution for identifying locations for underwater tidal turbines, reducing costs for renewable energy developers and generating opportunities for developing c...

There is excitement around the potential of tidal power, but work needs to be done to ramp up capacity.

RESEARCHERS from Scotland and Wales are hoping to revolutionise the marine renewables sector with a new method of measuring tidal currents using drones. The project, being led by the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI), will use the aircraft to film the movement of water before applying algorithms to determine its speed. UHI, along with Swansea and Bangor universities in Wales, hopes the technique will provide a simple and effective way to identify locations for underwater tidal turbines, reducing costs for renewable energy developers and generating opportunities for developi...
