University of Exeter to provide Euro wave prediction know-how

05 Mar 2010 | Filed under: Sustainability

The University of Exeter is one of a consortium’s members providing wave prediction technology.

A consortium of companies has been given €4.5 million funding from the European Commission to deploy a wave energy device and associated wave prediction and tuning technology.

Ocean Power Technology’s PowerBuoy is likely to be deployed in Santoña, Spain.

Around half the money will go to OPT, with the remaining funds used by the other five consortium members for the steel fabrication, wave-monitoring equipment, wave resource prediction research, system monitoring and project management.
