Wave Energy Research Centre ROV and Instrumentation

北大西洋波浪能研究中心（WERC）位于英国罗德湾，成立于2011年。2011年9月，北大西洋学院布林校区获得了CCI-IE拨款，用于开发与岸上综合多营养水产养殖（IMTA）农场相结合的波浪动力泵。这项研究需要发展一个水产养殖设施和一个对波浪能吸收器进行调查和配备仪器的地点。为了提高该中心的能力，将购买一个远程操作车辆（ROV），以提高对被测试设备和已安装仪器进行水下检查的能力、有效性和安全性。该系统足够小，可以很容易地从当地渔船上部署，同时功能齐全，功能强大，可以在我们现场的非风暴条件下运行。此外，还将购买仪器设备，以提高现场的数据收集能力。

College of the North Atlantic's Wave Energy Research Centre (WERC) in Lord's Cove NL, was established in 2011. In September 2011, College of the North Atlantic, Burin Campus, was awarded a CCI-IE grant to develop a wave-powered pump coupled to a shore based Integrated Multi-trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) farm. The research required the development of an aquaculture facility and a surveyed and instrumented site for the wave energy absorber. To enhance the capabilities of this centre, a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) will be purchased to increase the ability, effectiveness and safety of performing underwater inspections of the equipment being tested and of the installed instrumentation. This system is small enough to be easily deployed from a local fishing vessel, while sufficiently versatile and powerful to be able to operate during non-storm conditions at our site. In addition, instrumentation will be purchased to enhance the data collection abilities of the site.
