Projects
We deliver alongside our clients: start-ups, national laboratories, universities and engineering consultancies working on energy storage, wave energy and offshore wind.
Arenko
Grid-scale energy storage
Arenko is a leading developer of battery optimisation and automation software and hardware. With Arenko, we are building highly available, robust systems for operating batteries in dynamic electricity markets.
CalWave Power Technologies
Power from waves
We work closely with CalWave Power Technologies, a leading developer of wave energy conversion technology, providing specialist control and instrumentation support on several of their US Department of Energy projects.
BoxPower and the California Energy Commission
Microgrid software
BoxPower provides modular microgrid energy solutions and was awarded a $1.2 million California Energy Commission grant to develop its microgrid hardware and software. We are BoxPower’s partner on this grant, helping bring California closer to its clean energy goals.
MathWorks
Industrial automation
We develop industrial embedded software and real-time control systems with MATLAB, Simulink and Speedgoat hardware. Having used MATLAB and Simulink for over a decade, we are one of MathWorks’ trusted consulting partners.
University of Maine, NREL and DNV, for ARPA-E
Floating offshore wind
With the University of Maine, NREL and DNV, we secured the ARPA-E FOCAL project, part of the wider ARPA-E ATLANTIS programme. Our work focuses on real-time implementation of advanced floating offshore wind control algorithms.
Sandia National Laboratories
Power take-off testing
We support Sandia National Laboratories with control and data acquisition for their SWEPT lab, built to test power take-offs for wave energy converters.
Sandia National Laboratories and Oregon State University
Digital twin research
With Sandia National Laboratories and Oregon State University, we are designing and testing control for the Floating Oscillating Surge Wave Energy Converter (FOSWEC), using a digital twin with hardware in the loop.
TEAMER
Approved TEAMER facility
TEAMER accelerates the commercialisation of marine renewables by giving developers access to the best testing facilities and expertise in the United States. We are part of the TEAMER facility network.
IEC TC114, US Department of Energy and NREL
International standards
We actively support international standardisation of marine renewable energy. Johannes leads committee MT 62600-103 within IEC TC114 and is an active member of the US TC114 Technical Advisory Group. This work is supported by the US Department of Energy and NREL.
DNV
Global metocean design
We are a trusted subcontractor to DNV, supporting metocean studies around the world. We have worked with DNV’s London office for many years, delivering to the highest international standards.
Checkmate SeaEnergy and Wave Energy Scotland
Flexible marine energy
The Anaconda wave energy converter by Checkmate SeaEnergy is a truly novel way to generate electricity from ocean waves. We were at the core of its development through Stage 2 of Wave Energy Scotland’s Novel Wave Energy Converter programme, leading control and instrumentation for the tank-test prototype and the numerical modelling of its distensible bulge tube.
Impact9
Offshore structures
Impact9 designs offshore structures for high-energy environments. We collaborated closely with them on a tank testing campaign for a prototype wave energy converter, and were central to its planning, execution and data analysis.
We’d love to work with you on your next energy storage or renewable energy project.
Our terms of engagement are flexible, from a quick prototype to a system that must run unattended for years.
