CGEN Engineering's modular generato system set to transform offshore renewables

CGEN Engineering, a University of Edinburgh spin out company, has developed modular generator technology the founders say could reduce the levelised cost of energy for offshore renewables by 10-15%.

Invented by Professor Markus Mueller of the University of Edinburgh’s School of Engineering and developed by CGEN’s managing director, research fellow Dr Joseph Burchell, alongside mechanical and manufacturing engineer Mike Galbraith, the team has demonstrated the technology at scales from 10 kilowatts (kW) to one megawatt (MW).
