Anchor concept could mark sea change for wave power generation
Engineering experts at the University of Dundee are preparing to make waves in the ocean energy industry with new anchoring technology for the next generation of offshore power generating devices.
Members of the Geotechnical Engineering group, based within Dundee’s School of Science and Engineering, are developing new novel vibro installed anchors aimed at making wave energy converters (WECs) more cost efficient.
The team are working on the concept with wave energy developer CorPower Ocean, as part of the UMACK Project, which is to be trialled off the coast of Portugal.
