PRIMaRE collaborates with industry to support research and development activity across a number of areas, for example, design, engineering, environmental impact and grid connection. Download our factsheets from the list below:-
Dynamic Marine Component Test Facility (DMAC)
& South West Moorings Test Facility
A team from the University of Exeter's Tremough Campus, Penryn, lead by Dr.Lars Johanning has designed a unique facility that will help deliver reliability and risk control for wave energy device developers, investors and insurance companies.Download DMAC factsheet »
Electrical Testing and Research Laboratory
Academics from The Peninsula Research Institute for Marine Renewable Energy (PRIMaRE) identified the integration of distributed, variable output marine renewable energy generation as a major area of research need.Download Electrical Testing and Research Laboratory factsheet »
Environmental Impacts
Following the acquisition of the new PRIMaRE research vessel, the RV Falcon Spirit, the team can operate up to 60 nautical miles from shore and can offer a flexible, client orientated approach that can be adapted to meet a particular need.Download Environmental Impacts factsheet »
Falcon Spirit
Falcon Spirit is a 13.65m survey vessel coded by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency for 14 persons to work up to 60 miles from a safe haven. An aluminium catamaran with a beam of six metres she offers a large and stable 25m² of flood lit configurable aft deck space.Download Falcon Spirit factsheet »
Oceanographic Modelling
Experts at the University of Plymouth have been developing enhanced 3D computer models to simulate circulation and sediment transport in the Easter Celtic Sea. This research has demonstrated that the tide is only one of many factors significantly affecting the flow of energy in the oceans.Download Oceanographic Modelling factsheet »
New Hydrodynamics Facility
The new wave tank testing facilities planned at the University of Plymouth, will provide a unique capability and target a niche marketing for marine renewable energy wave tank testing within a flexible environment with expertise and support from PRIMaRE.Download New Hydrodynamics Facility factsheet »
