Abstract
- MoorPower Demonstrator achieves goals during its initial operational phase, signalling ability to meet commercialisation pathway targets
- Over 2,000 hours of operations data gathered and analysed
- Commercial aquaculture partner’s feeding barge motion and energy consumption data gathered and analysed
- Core design proven with MoorPower modules functioning as predicted
- Results validate power take-off architecture common to both CETO and MoorPower
- MoorPower numerical models validated using Demonstrator performance data and commercial feeding barge motion data, providing confidence in Carnegie’s ability to forecast the performance of the Commercial MoorPower System for a variety of barges globally
