Quoceant have become one of seven companies to share £1m of funding from the Offshore Wind Growth Partnerships Innovation Funding competition. The funding will be used to further progress the Q-Connect quick connection technology for application to floating or deeper water offshore wind. The funding call from the OWGP was designed to support priorities set out in the Industrial Growth Plan and benefited from insights from their Industry Champions; Equinor and SSE. The OWGP is

Quoceant have recently completed a feasibility study for Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) to evaluate the integration of Q-Connect technology within a floating offshore wind project. The work considered the 66kV electrical quick connection interface with the platform and subsea infrastructure, and the steps involved in the installation and operations phases. COP is a leading developer of floating offshore wind, with a pipeline of projects for Copenhagen Infrastructure Partn

Last month, we were pleased to welcome two MEng Mechanical Engineering students from the University of Edinburgh to Quoceant for their six-month placements. As part of their fourth year of study, the placement provides an opportunity to apply academic learning within a practical engineering environment. During their time with us, they will gain experience across a range of engineering and offshore renewables projects, working closely with engineers and project teams. Both stu

Quoceant has been awarded a contract with Ocean Winds to provide engineering support to their BC-Wind project off Poland in the Baltic Sea. BC-Wind is a fixed wind project developed by Ocean Winds in the Polish Exclusive Economic Zone of the Baltic Sea, around 23 kilometres north of the coastline, near Krokowa and Choczewo. Once completed the BC-Wind farm will total 26 turbines with a total planned capacity of up to 390 MW. Photo: Ocean Winds' Moray West Offshore Wind Farm, C

Minesto is a leading tidal energy company developing a novel subsea kite to capture renewable energy from the ocean’s powerful tidal currents. To meet the challenge of deploying and recovering this technology at such energetic sites, Minesto contracted Quoceant to design a subsea connection system. The project kicked off in 2019 and two units have since been deployed at Minesto’s test site off the Faroe Islands. In this blog post, we check in with Minesto to see how it worke

Last week Quoceant attended the first meeting of the COIN partners in Braunschweig. The two-day conference assembled 9 companies and academic bodies from across Europe to officially launch the project.

Quoceant are one of nine companies and academic institutes that will work together to deliver a new Horizon Europe Programme project...
