Bombora Wraps Tank Trials Of Its Floating Hybrid Energy Platform

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.

This is the introductory paragraph.

Bombora Wave Power has completed tank testing of its floating foundation system suitable for the InSPIRE solution, which combines the mWave wave energy technology with a wind turbine onto a single floating offshore platform.

This second paragraph gives details of the power output of the hybrid energy platform.

The tank testing program at FloWave follows the pre-FEED phase of the InSPIRE project completed earlier in 2022, based on the integration of a 4MW mWave solution with a 10MW wind turbine on a single semi-submersible floating foundation system.

4 MW seems a worthwhile increase in power, that can probably be handled by the existing cables and substations.
