BOCA RATON, FL (April 18, 2011) — The Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center (SNMREC) at Florida Atlantic University recently accomplished a major milestone in the establishment of its testing capabilities. The Center successfully completed offshore testing of a key component of its small-scale ocean-current turbine test berth – a Mooring and Telemetry Buoy (MTB). The MTB test was the first step of a multi-phase strategy to create a real-time offshore ocean energy test facility and scientific observatory. Press |
