The project will also further develop deep collaborative academic-industry partnerships that will help support and deliver future tidal energy technologies and wider research. Professor Richard Willden, Department of Engineering Science‘Co-design to deliver Scalable Tidal Stream Energy’ (CoTide) will bring together three multi-disciplinary teams from the universities of Oxford, Edinburgh, and Strathclyde. A potential design for future scalable tidal stream energy systems. The University of Oxford’s combined current and wave flume for ocean engineering research. The project will also have a strong focus on increasing the sustainability of tidal stream systems.
