Wave and tidal stream energy technologies: underpinning deployment
This competition is targeting pre-commercial full-scale devices installed and operating in the sea, including those supported by Carbon Trust's Marine Renewables Proving Fund (MRPF). The scope includes verifying performance; improving reliability in a real environment; and developing installation, operation and maintenance methodologies.
This competition is open to wave and tidal sream device manufacturers, and also to collaborations that will develop the UK supply chain and the skilles needed to deploy these technologies.
It complements the March 2010 competition 'Wave and tidal stream energy technologies: reducing costs and improving performance'.
Both competitions complement the MRPF, and together they aim to advance wave and tidal technologies along the innovation chain to grow business opportunities and achieve the Government's renewable energy targets.
