Q-Connect
Quick Connection for the Offshore Renewable Sector
Q-Connect Technology
The Q-Connect family of marine Quick Connection System's (QCS) are designed to provide rapid and safe connection and disconnection of moorings and electrical cables to a range of offshore renewable energy systems.
Floating Wind
Quoceant are adapting Q-Connect for use in the floating wind sector. This includes an upscaled mooring connector, suitable for floating wind foundations and a separate design which incorporates uprated electrical connectors for high-voltage cable connection.
​
We would like to hear from floating wind developers, connector supplies and other interested parties.
Designed from Experience
Quoceant has developed the Q-Connect on the back of years of experience with connection and disconnection of the Pelamis wave energy machine. As Quoceant, the company have successfully worked on marine connection projects for leaders in the wave and tidal energy sector, including delivery of two connection systems to Minesto.
The Q-Connect development was initially supported by funding from Wave Energy Scotland which took a smaller-scale system from concept to qualification testing.
