WaveNET Array - Mingary Bay

Albatern installed its WaveNet array featuring six, 7.5kW Squid devices at a fish farm off Ardnamurchan. The WaveNet array is powering Marine Harvest’s fish farm in Mingary Bay. Power generated by the project, backed by £720,000 funding from Wave Energy Scotland, was transmitted to the fish farm’s feed barge via a subsea cable. The project was designed to demonstrate how wave power can replace diesel generators traditionally used to power fish farms. Operation was reported to have continued through at least the end of December 2016. This paper provides an FMEA analysis of the different WaveNET deployments.
