PLAT-I: Renewable Energy for Canada
test, and very excited about what the next 12 months holds for us in Nova Scotia.”The PLAT-I platform was designed with support from Innovate UK and DFID under the Energy Catalyst program. The testing program, funded by Scottish Enterprise, has successfully validated the platform and power generation technologies. All systems performed as expected allowing the key advantages of the PLAT-I system to be proven. From the outset low cost assembly and marine operations have been a key design driver with both of these being demonstrated in the Connel testing program.Dr. Ralf Starzmann, Sales Director
