The annual Partnership for Research in Marine Renewable Energy (PRIMaRE) conference provides a forum for exchanging the latest research and development, and fostering collaborations on marine renewable energy. 
In the offshore renewable energy research community, the PRIMaRE conference has developed a reputation for being friendly and informal yet with high quality technical sessions and workshops, warmly welcoming both industry and academia – including early stage PhD researchers.
The conference is an opportunity for the PRIMaRE network to showcase the research conducted among the different partner institutions, their industrial collaborators and the wider academic sector.
The conference includes universities, industry and research centres active in all aspects of marine renewable energy and is expected to attract participants ranging from industrial developers, university researchers, marine environmentalists and policy makers.
Conference topics
• Tidal/ocean current turbines
• Wave energy devices
• Offshore floating wind energy
• Tidal range schemes
• Hybrid renewable energy floating platforms
• Economic, environmental, social, and policy aspects of offshore renewable energy
This year's conference will take place at the University of Southampton. Visit the conference website for the latest information and registration details or contact A.S.Bahaj@soton.ac.uk for any queries.

Supergen ORE Hub – PRIMaRE Workshop

At Sea Component Testing for Offshore Renewables (ACTOR)

The UK needs rapid Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) expansion for net zero and climate change mitigation, energy security, green growth and jobs. The target of 50GW Offshore Wind by 2030 means building out ten times faster than at present. However, as development pushes into deeper water and more complex and challenging offshore environments, new floating technology and innovation is required. An offshore testing platform is a critical part of an integrated experimental testing ground for rapid proving for technology intended to operate in extreme hostile offshore environments.
Resulting from Supergen ORE Hub consultations with the ORE community, the University of Plymouth, in collaboration with ORE Catapult and Plymouth Marine Laboratory are leading a proposal for a new “At-Sea Component Testing Facility for Offshore Renewables” (ACTOR). The aim of the workshop is to share details of the proposal and consult with the community to further refine the use cases and specifications for the new facility.
To accelerate and de-risk ORE expansion, the aim for ACTOR is to establish an offshore floating laboratory (OffLab) to generate data pipelines in a ‘controlled’ offshore environment in parallel with a globally leading infrastructure of virtual ORE replicas (V-ORE). This will enable representations of real-world ORE assets, processes, and systems in their natural environment.

About PRIMaRE

PRIMaRE is a consortium of marine renewable energy experts across higher education, research and industry which have joined together to establish a ‘network of excellence’ for the south of the UK.
The Universities of Plymouth, Exeter, Southampton, Bristol, Cardiff and Bath, along with the Marine Biological Association and Plymouth Marine Laboratory, have agreed to work together on research projects across the spectrum of marine renewables. Completing the line-up of PRIMaRE is the South West Marine Energy Park and the Wave Hub facility off the north coast of Cornwall, who will act as conduits between the research community and industry.
