General Info - Technical Overview

The European Marine Energy Centre:

Is the only multi-berth purpose-built test facility in the world for the evaluation of wave and tidal technologies
Was set up to stimulate and accelerate the development of marine energy devices

We offer:

Independent assessment of devices’ energy conversion capabilities, structural performance and survivability
Real-time monitoring of environmental conditions
Grid connection and ROCs (Renewable Obligations Certificate) registration

EMEC has an integrated management system, which incorporates Quality, Health & Safety and Environmental standards. Accreditation accreditation means we can offer independent, internationally recognised verification of the performance of wave energy converters. It is planned that similar verification will be available soon for tidal devices.
