Title

Full Scale WaveSub Wind Turbine Services

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

Marine Power Systems (MPS) is developing flexible ocean energy extraction technology that can harness wave energy (WaveSub), wind energy (WindSub) and combined wind and wave energy (DualSub). All the machines share a common modular floating platform technology developed by and proprietary to MPS that has cost and deployment advantages over other floating platform approaches.

The wave energy capture and conversion system is also developed by and proprietary to MPS, with performance and cost advantages over competing wave energy converters. To enable the successful development of this technology, a full scale WaveSub prototype will be designed and deployed. The WaveSub prototype will first be configured for wave energy extraction with one wave energy convertor attached (see D-CONC-13). Upon completion of the WaveSub prototype operation, the platform will be demobilised.

To ensure the WaveSub design is capable of supporting other energy generation devices, the platform will be designed for all modes during development. The purpose of this work package is to obtain the services of a wind turbine specialist to ensure that the platform is suitably designed.

The detailed scope is provided in D-WPAC-24 and will be provided to applicants on completion of an NDA.
