Albertern – Retrofit PLC system on wave enegy device

Albertern produced a smale scale wave energy device for operation in the lochs and estuaries of Scotland, rather than the open ocean. Its aim was to accept a smaller wave resource in return for a less extreme environment and a ready demand for electricity from offshore consumers. I supported Sequentec in a major retrofit to upgrade the PLC system and resolve some issues with both the device and shore facilities.

Alberntern's shore connection
The shore connection in Ardnamurchan, west of Scotland. Accessible by boat but a considerable walk to the nearest road!
