Introduction
MaREI at UCC’s Floating Wind Testbed integrated with Energy System Observatory (FLOWT-EOB), was granted €4.2m under the programme, an award that was co-funded by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).
The project, led by , aims to provide an infrastructure that would be unique worldwide for addressing knowledge gaps and optimising energy utilisation. The primary component of FLOWT-EOB will be a 200kW floating wind platform, deployed in Cork Harbour.
