SW England testbed opportunities for marine renewable energy & offshore engineering Prof Martin J Attrill Director, Plymouth University Marine

SW England as a centre for UK’s renewable industry Only region with all renewable energy resources close to major ports & infrastructure Wave Solar Tidal Wind

The South West is the first region in the UK to be designated as a marine energy park (Jan 2012) a collaborative partnership between local and national government, Local Enterprise Partnerships, technology developers, academia and industry. a physical and geographic zone with priority focus for marine technology development, energy generation projects and industry growth. South West Marine Energy Park (SWMEP)

COAST laboratory (Plymouth University) FaBTest (Exeter University/Falmouth Port) Wave Hub (EU/UK/regional government investment) PRIMaRE (Plymouth & Exeter Universities) South West Marine Energy Park Testbed Opportunities

£19m development within Plymouth University’s Marine Building Ocean Basin (35x15.5x3m) – 24 independently controlled wave generators & 2-directional current – Suite of s-o-t-a instrumentation – Most advanced ocean modelling facility in UK Coastal Basin (15.5x10x0.5m) – Waves & currents onto a beach – Option for use with sediment Sediment Wave Flumes – 3 flumes, wave and current, with or without sediment – Largest: 35x0.6x0.8m Coastal Ocean and Sediment Transport Laboratory (COAST)

Video to be shown here Coastal Ocean and Sediment Transport Laboratory (COAST)

The Falmouth Bay Test site (FaBTest) is a 2.8km 2 area dedicated to the testing of marine energy converters (MECs) Prevailing high energy westerly swells but in lee of the Lizard Peninsula – relative shelter for device/ prototype survivability testing Testing of wave energy technologies, components, moorings and deployment procedures Data collection - developers gain understanding of any MEC noise impacts and energy conversion (if relevant) throughout FaBTest deployment (monthly HSE reporting) Falmouth Bay Testing Site (FabTest)

£42 million scheme creating world’s first grid-connected, offshore wave-energy testing facility It consists of an electrical hub on the seabed 16 kilometres off the north coast of Cornwall in South West England to which wave energy devices can be connected. The 12-tonne hub is linked to the UK’s grid network via a 25km, 1300 tonne subsea cable operating at 11kV. 8 km 2 licenced area supporting 4 companies’ devices & arrays (20 MW capacity) Also suitable for tidal devices and floating wind The Wave Hub

A co-operative research collaboration (2007) between the Universities of Exeter and Plymouth – now extending region-wide Providing world-class academic support and facilities for industry and governments – Resource characterisation and Marine operations (WICI) – Safe and economic operations and marine risk mitigation – Environmental impact – Underwater and surface electrical systems – Socio-Economic factors SW has ability to support industry from concept to commercial deployment Peninsula Research Institute for Marine Renewable Energy (PRIMaRE)
