Aqualis Braemar<\/strong>‘s offshore wind consultancy unit Owc<\/strong> will through a four-month study assess the various levels of sharing of supply chains, physical infrastructure and services between wave energy <\/strong>other floating offshore wind<\/strong> systems.<\/p>\n

Sharing scenarios of interest range from co-development, through co-location to sharing a floating substructure, according to WES.<\/p>\n

The contract award comes as Scotland embarks on the creation of a huge supply chain and services network to satisfy the massive offshore wind capacity leased through the ScotWind program.<\/p>\n

These steps bring potential for increased collaboration between the Scottish wind and wave energy sectors, bringing cost reductions, technical and socio-economic benefits and well as the opportunity to enhance national energy security through a more-varied generation portfolio.<\/p>\n

OWC is a specialized and globally focused engineering consultancy offering project development services, owner’s engineering and technical due diligence to the offshore wind industry.<\/p>\n

The outcomes of the project will be shared publicly on the Wave Energy Scotland Knowledge Library.<\/p>\n

Formed in 2014 at the request of the Scottish government, WES is driving the search for innovative solutions to the technical challenges facing the wave energy sector.<\/p>\n

Through its competitive procurement program, the organization supports a range of projects focused on the key systems and sub-systems of wave energy converters. The aim is to produce reliable technology which will result in cost effective wave energy generation.<\/p>\n
