PROJECT IN BRIEF
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 detail to unlock investment in a Commercial Pilot Project, which would be the first commercial application of the MoorPower technology in the aquaculture industry.
The key Preliminary Design Project activities include:
- Scale and optimise the MoorPower system design for operating feeding barges using learnings from the successful MoorPower Scaled Demonstrator Project.
- Undertake in-depth assessment of aquaculture’s operational parameters and requirements, including existing mooring system configurations, barge movements, survey compliance requirements and more.
By offering an alternative to diesel generators, MoorPower aims to significantly reduce costs and environmental impact for aquaculture and other offshore industries. With global application across a variety of offshore industries, MoorPower provides a tailored solution for offshore energy demand applications.
