We believe our technology is ideally suited to a number of offshore operations, where it can make a direct contribution to net zero goals. I’d like to thank all of our local Orkney-based partners including EMEC, Leask Marine, Heddles, Orkney Harbour Authority and Orcades Marine for the help we have received to date. A 4G connection allows us to send commands and download data from shore. The device is standalone and operated wirelessly.
In the Scapa testing phase, we will test power production and compare results against our numerical predictions, and we will test operations including towing, installation, removal, and access at sea. “In the days and weeks ahead, we will produce first power and prove how the Blue X machine operates in a variety of sea states. “This is a very exciting moment as we put our first prototype to test at sea” said Mocean Energy Managing Director Cameron McNatt.
#Commands for bluex full
Later this summer the Blue X will be moved to EMEC’s grid connected wave test site at Billia Croo on the west coast of Orkney, where it will go through its paces in more rigorous full sea conditions. In the last few days, Mocean Energy’s 20-metre long, 38-tonne wave machine has been towed from Kirkwall to EMEC’s Scapa Flow test site where it has been successfully moored and commissioned for initial sea trials.
