Harsh marine conditions
Ocean environments demand robust, durable infrastructure that withstands corrosive saltwater, extreme weather, and mechanical stresses to ensure longevity and reliability.
Regulatory and environmental complexity
Marine energy projects must navigate EIAs, coastal regulations, and marine ecosystem sensitivities to secure approvals and community trust.
Intermittent power and grid integration
Variable wave and tidal outputs demand advanced storage, forecasting, and microgrid optimisation to maintain stable supply, enhance interoperability between systems, and reduce reliance on diesel generation.
Technology reliability and maintenance
Emerging marine devices face corrosion, fatigue and complex maintenance challenges in harsh underwater environments.
