The UK Government recently announced funding for 11 Floating Off-shore Wind (FOW) projects - each project showcasing and trialling something reasonably unique in the sector. One of these projects is a hybrid wind and wave project by Marine Power Systems. The company is proposing to demonstrate a 2MW scale platform that also simultaneously harnesses 0.5MW of wave energy. Being able to cost-effectively combine the two provides reliability benefits, as well as obvious cost benefits.
