This project follows the successful completion of the MoorPower Scaled Demonstrator Project in 2024 (Project 1.21.001). Building on the lessons learned from the demonstration and in close collaboration with future end users, the project aims to deliver the required [...]
The Blue Economy CRC released the highly successful 'Offshore Wind Energy in Australia' (OWEA) report in 2021. This has helped to catalyse the emergence of an offshore wind industry. There is a need for a similar report for the [...]
The TASDEMO project involves deploying SATH technology for a floating offshore wind turbine in Australian waters. This project will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of deploying this technology in Australia, paving the way for future large-scale projects. The [...]
BE CRC research has highlighted the potential of offshore wind in Australia’s future energy planning. With suitable sites located across all Australian states, offshore wind promises to establish Australia as an ‘energy superpower’. In early August 2022 the Australian [...]
The pressing demand for energy generation from renewable resources, as well as the increasing activities in the offshore environment, are driving significant progress in the research, development and implementation of new technologies. In Australia, a wide range of market [...]
Globally, as the aquaculture sector moves operations further offshore, the sector is encountering new challenges to access clean and reliable energy. Without shore-based power, energy-intensive offshore aquaculture operations such as feeding barges become reliant on diesel generators with many [...]
A prototype version of the M4 (short for ‘Moored MultiModal Multibody’) Wave Energy Converter will be deployed in King George Sound, Albany, funded by the CRC, WA Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and UWA. The project demonstrates [...]
The development of new and co-located offshore/high energy aquaculture and energy businesses requires an integrated approach to managing their supply chains. This research project, through systematic literature review and applying the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, will develop [...]
The Offshore Renewable Energy Systems Program (RP3) of the Blue Economy CRC has a key milestone to deliver a demonstration offshore/high energy renewable energy system, encompassing offshore renewable energy conversion technologies, a microgrid with integrated storage (electrochemical, hydrogen, …) [...]
The Australian Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (BECRC) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have investigated the energy requirements of the offshore aquaculture industry and considered the feasibility of co-locating offshore aquaculture with ocean renewable energy (ORE) as [...]
Offshore wind energy is growing rapidly globally but so far the consensus in Australia is its role is limited. However, offshore wind merits serious consideration. Globally, the cost of offshore wind is falling rapidly; high capacity factor wind can [...]
The efficient and cost-effective conversion of wave energy into electrical energy has remained an unsolved technological challenge. This project will develop, proof test and demonstrate a novel energy storage element, the Mooring Tensioner, enabling the use of rotary electrical [...]
