ENCORE News - November 2021

We've had some busy months with lots of things happening: time for a news update from the ENCORE partnership. Enjoy our newsletter!

Steel in the water!

Despite COVID, the four technology developers in ENCORE made excellent progress in the past months. A short update of what has been achieved:

 

Water2Energy deployed their vertical axis turbine at the discharge gate in the Port of Flushing (The Netherlands) in October. Commissioning and testing are now underway.

 

Teamwork Technology completed a dry-testing campaign of the Symphony Wave Power, a submerged point absorbing wave energy system, in the port town of Sines in Portugal. The set-up was dismantled and brought to the Netherlands for further expansion and testing in 2022. In addition, Teamwork Technology attracted investment from Dutch Multimetaal based in Den Helder.

 

Oceans of Energy are preparing a doubling of their 50 kW pilot with offshore floating solar modules at the North Sea Innovation Lab. The system survived several storms throughout 2021 validating that the system can work in harsh environments.

 

EEL Energy operate a test version of the EEL Tidal Energy Converter at the nuclear power station near Dunkirk, France, tapping energy from the outflow of cooling water. A phase of intensive testing will start in December 2021. Also a design for a floating solution is on the drawing table. The full-scale system is planned for deployment in 2022.

 

Service providers Bureau Veritas, Artelia, Inyanga Marine Projects, Bluespring, DMEC, EMEC and Ghent University jointly support the technology developers with certification activities, performance assessment, simulation and modelling, risk reduction and attracting finance for roll-out.

 

Deftiq and Bluespring use the know-how obtained through the ENCORE project to develop a series of e-learning courses to train anyone pursuing a career in the emerging industry. The first module "Introduction to Offshore Renewable Energy" is available. Over 200 registered users across Europe, Latin America and the US have already tried the course. Interested as well?

Ocean Energy Europe 

OEE2021 is the largest gathering of ocean energy professionals organised by Ocean Energy Europe, the industry association representing ocean energy in Europe. This year’s conference programme looks at how ocean energy technologies will help us reach the goal of reaching a zero-carbon future, and what is needed to get there.

 

The ENCORE project is delighted to be Bronze sponsor of OEE2021, taking place in Brussels on 6 & 7 December 2021. Please come and meet us at the Exhibition, stand nr. 17. Partners will tell you more about their activities, including live demonstrations of the e-learning modules and a VR demo by Teamwork Technology. In addition Peter Scheijgrond (Bluespring) and Annemarie Hoffman (Teamwork Technology) will jointly present during the conference session "Made in Europe: the ocean energy supply chain". See you at Ocean Energy Europe 2021!

Regional impact campaigns
in four countries

In September and October we participated in a number of leading international events and hosted a series of Regional Impact Campaigns. The aim of these regional events is to engage with local supply chain for fabrication and deployment of the pilots and to meet possible partners and investors for commercial roll-out.

 

Early September we joined the Blue Science&Technology Summer Training, organised by Marine@UGent in Ostend (BE). For two weeks, participants were immersed in marine and maritime topics and introduced to key aspects to building foundations for a sustainable blue economy. Ghent University, Bluespring and Teamwork Technology provided guest lectures and co-organised a full-day networking event, that brought together over 60 young professionals, industry leaders and academics to discuss the rapid growth of offshore renewable energy.

 

At the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference 2021 in Plymouth (UK), Inyanga Maritime and EMEC hosted an event to present the ENCORE pilots and explore collaborative opportunities with technology developers Teamwork Technology, EEL Energy, Oceans of Energy and Water2Energy.

 

ENCORE partners were also present at Seanergy 2021 in Nantes (FR). Bureau Veritas had a booth as part of the Conference Exhibition and together with Inyanga Maritime gave a pitch on "Advancing four offshore renewable energy solutions: risk and reliability management from design to installation”. Later they joined DMEC and Artelia at the Interreg projects networking event, hosted by WEAMEC. It was a great opportunity to meet other stakeholders that are accelerating the marine renewable energy sector.

 

At the Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference (OEEC) in Amsterdam (NL), Dutch Marine Energy Centre (DMEC) hosted the Marine Energy Pavilion, showcasing the marine energy innovations developed by the project partners. There were lots of opportunities to discuss collaboration between the marine energy sector and the offshore and supply chain industries during two round table discussions and at the pavilion.
