Big things are happening in the world of remote wave energy control! The HAPiWEC project — our mission to make control design for wave energy converters faster, smarter, and more accessible — has reached some exciting new milestones. Whether you’ve followed us from the start or are just tuning in,…
Dr Adam Stock, Dr Peter McCallum and Dr Alexandra Price have received funding for a new project, “Accelerating Impact of Wave Energy Control” (AIM-WEC), which will use some of the software tools developed in HAPiWEC to inform new training and outreach materials for renewable energy professionals, MSc students and high…
The HAPiWEC project were proud to attend the Supergen ORE Hub Wave Energy Workshop, held at the Leonardo hotel in Plymouth on 11th February. Team members Tom Davey, Ross Calvert, David Campos-Gaona, and Adam Stock delivered a presentation highlighting the projects progress so far, including the development of the novel…
Marking a major milestone for the project, the prototype system of the OSPREY-I (Open System-wide Prototyping for Renewable Energy Yield Improvement) was deployed in the FloWave basin. The dual motor power take off system, designed and constructed by the University of Edinburgh team was coupled to the power electronics from…
Last year Dr Adam Stock moved across to Heriot-Watt University to take on a role as Assistant Professor. This has led to a new opportunity for a Post Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to join Adam as part of the HAPiWEC team at Heriot-Watt. The PDRA will help to develop and…
On the 27th of October, Adam Stock and Matthew Onslow went on a visit to Newcastle University to meet with Nick Baker and Farrel Asker to discuss the modelling of power take-offs (PTOs). Nick and Farrel’s work primarily consists of finite element analysis of electrical machines, however the discussion revolved…
The European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC) is a major event in the calendar for most people involved in wave and tidal energy research. After the impact that COVID had on the 2021 event, there was a celebratory atmosphere as HAPiWECers Dr Ally Price, Dr Adam Stock, Dr Brian…
One of the aims of the HAPIWEC project is to provide the user with the ability to visually create a controller structure and have that structure coded into a digital controller in a remote location with the push of a button. Recent advances in cloud computing have made this possible…
A delegation from HAPiWEC attended the Oceans conference in Limerick. There in person to present their paper ‘Paper title’ were Drs Campos, Price and Mortazavizadeh, while their co-author Dr. Yazdanpanah provided HA-in-the-loop support back in Glasgow. We hired a stand in the exhibition to demonstrate the remote lab aspect of…
Updated 29th April 2023: Please note that our EoI has now closed – the current page is for information only. If you missed this opportunity, please use the Contact Us web form if you wish to join our future workshop(s). The HAPiWEC team are now taking Expressions of Interest in…
