Mocean Energy

Linus Kemme

Linus has become a highly valued member of Mocean Energy, contributing far beyond his core IDCORE research by supporting structural design, mooring system development, and leading a major tank‑testing programme. His project on improving fatigue‑life prediction for wave energy converters is also strengthening Mocean’s modelling and design capability.

‘I can't think of a time when I haven't recommended IDCORE to others. I have always found that saying I’ve been part of IDCORE has given me credibility. It is a very well respected programme.'

Nian Liu

Nian wasn’t looking for a career in renewables, it found her. During the COVID pandemic she had been reflecting on her options with the careers service at her university who suggested an EngD as a good compromise between pursuing a research post and seeking a role in industry. It was in looking for an EngD in a suitable location that suited her skill set that she discovered IDCORE.

Macauley Versey

Mac is working at the ‘sharp end’ of device development in the offshore renewable energy sector. He is sponsored by Mocean, where he is exploring a ‘hybridisation’ concept for their wave energy converter (WEC). This involves the installation of photo-voltaic (PV) panels on the WEC to reduce the need for diesel back-up in off-grid and micro-grid locations, the likely early market for Mocean’s products.
