A great piece on the work being done at FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility at School of Engineering - scale model testing plays an integral role in rapidly & cost-effectively optimising our technology. 👍 heraldscotland.com/business_hq/19…

🎉Congrats to the 7 successful #waveenergy projects selected for the 1st stage of the innovative Pre-Commercial Procurement programme! They'll receive a budget of €2.4M to further develop their #wave #energy device concepts in the next 6months. Read PR👉bit.ly/EUwave-PR1

How well do experimental assessments of wave energy converters at different test tanks compare? We were able to explore this through a unique 'round robin' programme under the MaRINET2 project with our international partners University of Plymouth MaREI Centrale Nantes IHCantabria

FloWave and #FASTBLADE are again pleased to feature in the The Herald review of Scotland's Renewable sector. Learn how the facilities work together within School of Engineering to provide research solutions to the tidal energy sector. edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/p…

You may have seen the "FloWave Spike" before, but did you know that the science behind it is contributing to knowledge on wave breaking in the ocean? Through studying these crossing seas we aim to understand implications for maritime safety. #WorldOceansDay

Mocean Energy Starts Tank Testing Models for 250kW Wave Energy Machine zpr.io/xwSym7qcYLBX

Watch the progress of our tank testing at the FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility, during the 1st Phase of our EuropeWave Project! Chris Retzler, our Technical Director, shares a few words on the process. Wave Energy Scotland, Ocean Energy Europe, EMEC, BiMEP #GreenEnergyOutOfTheBlue #waveenergy

The future leaders in the #offshoreengineering visited Mocean! The DOT TU Delft students had lots of curiosities about #offshore renewable energy, and FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility switched on the "wacky wave" setting for testing survivability in our Blue Horizon #WEC. Thanks Thomas Davey!

We've been saying goodbye to our School of Engineering summer interns as the new teaching semester rolls around. Many thanks to Shaun Fraser, who worked hard on updating the content of our website, including examples picked from our portfolio of ORE projects. flowave.eng.ed.ac.uk/home

This collaborative work under the MaRINET2 programme was a great experience, furthering tank testing knowledge for #WaveEnergy and expanding the international network of our reseachers.

Congratulations to Stiesdal Offshore, whose Tetrasub technology has been selected for the Pentland Offshore Wind Farm. Looking forward to seeing this technology make the journey from the lab to the sea! @HenrikStiesdal Marine Energy Alliance pentlandfloatingwind.com/onshore/news-i… #floatingwind

Happy #NationalEngineeringDay to all our collaborators in School of Engineering and beyond! As we get ready to enter our tenth year of operation it's great to see researchers in both academia and industry continuing push advances in #OceanEnergy and tank testing.

This Saturday (23 September) we'll be running demonstrations of the test tank from 11am to 2pm as part of College of Science and Engineering, Edinburgh Uni #DoorsOpenDay. Drop by to see how we replicate sea states from offshore renewable energy sites from around the world (plus some wave "party tricks"!).

Why do we need wind turbines that float? 🌊 Learn why our team at FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility is working with #industry to develop next-generation #OffshoreWind devices which could help the UK meet its pressing #NetZero targets. edin.ac/41wISq3 Edinburgh Innovations UoE Sustainability IEEE Spectrum

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Prof Stephen Salter. FloWave would not exist without his pioneering work, and we will miss him. His legacy will not just be in the technologies he developed, but also in a generation (or more!) of skilled engineers he trained.

It is with great sadness that we announce the recent passing of Professor Stephen Salter MBE FRSE, Emeritus Professor of Engineering Design. Learn more about Stephen's remarkable impact on industry and society: edin.ac/3TiEM2e Photo © Martin McAdam
