Marine Power Systems collaborated with the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult through its Marine Energy Engineering Centre of Excellence. The project looked at the following topics: The effect of tendon inclination angle on the platform dynamics was modelled with a Python-based static model and an Orcaflex dynamic model to identify the response of the platform[…]

To coincide with the start of Renewable UK’s Global Offshore Wind trade show in Manchester, Associated British Ports (ABP), the UK’s largest and leading ports operator has announced a new collaboration with Marine Power Systems (MPS), a Wales based floating wind technology developer to accelerate the advancement of floating offshore wind technology in the Celtic[…]
Marine Power Systems (MPS) are to join forces with Quoceant on their OWGP project to accelerate their Q-Connect technology into the floating offshore wind market. Quoceant have been developing marine quick connection systems, both for mooring and electrical connections, for many years and gaining experience of their operation in both wave and tidal applications. Q-Connect[…]
A Wales-centred industrial collaboration, led by Swansea-based Marine Power Systems, has been awarded nearly £1 million of innovation funding. The project is to develop the use of low CO2 steels from Tata Steel’s Port Talbot site to build platforms for floating offshore wind structures and strengthen local supply chains. The Launchpad project is a collaboration[…]
Designing technology that delivers cost effective electricity generation is one thing but manufacturing that technology and deploying it at industrial scale is quite another. Whilst we have always been focussed on ‘manufacturability’ when it comes to the design of our floating offshore wind platform, PelaFlex, we have also been working hard to develop manufacturing processes[…]
The bidding process for Floating Offshore Wind Leasing Round 5, covering the Celtic Sea, will begin early in 2024. This represents an important milestone and one that will accelerate the deployment of floating offshore wind on our doorstep. As a Welsh company focused on floating wind, Marine Power Systems has, for several years, worked closely[…]
Translated and extracted from the Nikkei website. As the world faces the challenge of climate change, the UK is stepping up its clean energy efforts. Recent real-world events underscores the importance of energy security and the need to accelerate the deployment of renewable technologies to displace fossil fuels. The UK is particularly focused on increasing[…]
The UK Government have significantly increased the strike price they will offer for floating offshore wind projects in the next Contracts for Difference (CfD) auction, following the lower-than-expected offshore wind allocation in the previous auction, and the impact of global events on supply chains. This amounts to a 52% increase from £116/MWh to £176/MWh. Marine[…]
