Marine Power Systems (MPS), a company developing revolutionary technology designed to capture the energy from ocean waves, has recently been awarded £200,000 of energy catalyst funding from Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency. The funding has been awarded for a 12 month project, which formally began this month (October 2016) to deliver the modelling, design,[…]
Marine Power Systems (MPS) has engaged with Advanced Sustainable Manufacturing Technologies (ASTUTE 2020) to undertake research in finite element simulations that will allow MPS to de-risk the build and test-stage of the WaveSub power take off float. ASTUTE 2020 is working with the Swansea-based wave energy technology developer on computational modelling research to de-risk eventual[…]
Established in 2008, Marine Power Systems (MPS) is Wales’ leading home-grown wave energy technology developer of the patented and award winning WaveSub Wave Energy Converter (WEC). Based in Swansea, MPS was formed by its directors Dr Graham Foster and Dr Gareth Stockman, both engineering graduates of Swansea University. MPS has demonstrated and validated its WaveSub[…]
Marine Power Systems (MPS), a Swansea-based company, has recently conducted scaled tank testing of its WaveSub device. The tank scale power-take-off systems have been developed in collaboration with the University of Bath. In addition to validating MPS’ computational simulations, the test programme has been supported by two Plymouth University post-graduate students as part of their[…]
Unique technology developed to harness marine energy Marine Power Systems, based in Swansea in South Wales, is Wales’ leading wave energy technology developer. The company has developed the WaveSub energy converter, a device that redefines technical boundaries to capture the energy potential of ocean waves. “The results of our work to date have proven that[…]
Marine Power Systems (MPS), a Swansea-based company that is developing revolutionary technology designed to capture the energy from ocean waves, has recently signed a contract with Hunger Hydraulic UK for the supply of hydraulic cylinders and seals for the company’s unique WaveSub device. Hunger Hydraulic is providing MPS with hydraulic cylinders for the WaveSub power take off[…]
Wales’ leading wave energy company has entered into a collaboration with Swansea University to develop a mechanical engineering PhD scholarship that will provide a successful student with the opportunity to help progress production of the firm’s innovative wave energy converter (WEC).
