These experts will discuss the impact of marine renewables on the local economy, how government can spur innovation, current experiences and the economics of starting a renewable energy project, stakeholder engagement, and entrepreneurship and innovation in the supply chain. There will also be student research posters on display from UMass Dartmouth, University of Rhode Island, and others
Mooring Installation Highlights Thordon's Range
for us. Calm Buoy projects like this are relatively rare in France, where Thordon bearings tend to be specified for use in the renewable energy sector, subsea turbines and river dams. We are delighted that Monobuoy’s system is now successfully operating offshore Libya.”One recent renewable energy project included the installation of Thordon bearings for the main turbine shafts of the 2MW OCEAN_2G tidal energy platform launched by Spain’s Mgallenes Renewables last year in Vigo bay, Spain.A specialized stainless steel cladding solution was chosen to protect the 600mm (23.622”)
Roxtec Seals Deal on $1.8 bln North Sea Wind Farm Project
Cromer in North Norfolk. Mr O’Hare said the cable sealing systems will meet the long-term lifecycle of the 402MW wind farm whose turbines will provide power to 410,000 UK homes and which is set to be commissioned during 2017. “We have been chosen for this ambitious renewable energy project because we are industry leaders in sealing solutions for the renewables sector,” he said. “We have been involved in cable sealing projects across more than 40 offshore wind farms in Europe. “The Dudgeon wind farm project will see the delivery of customised bulkhead
