Collaborative partnership Equinox Ocean Turbines

Equinox Ocean Turbines transforms the ocean into a sustainable energy source

The energy potential of ocean currents is enormous. Equinox has an ambitious goal: to harness the slow, but constant power of these ocean currents and convert them into baseload energy. To achieve this, they are developing groundbreaking technology with a two-stage turbine. Two tip turbines are attached to a slow-rotating main rotor made of concrete, which efficiently generates energy. https://equinoxoceanturbines.com/

Collaboration: Equinox focuses on results and IP

Huygens Engineers is proud to be a collaboration partner of Equinox. While Equinox focuses on task formulation, system integration, and technical strategy, Huygens Engineers' role is to carry out technical research and engineering. Our flexible services enable Equinox to seamlessly integrate the required engineering capacity into the project. The advantage for Equinox is: no fixed costs. And, all new IP from this project is owned by Equinox.

The role of Huygens Engineers

In this collaboration, Huygens Engineers functions as a fully-fledged external R&D department. Under the leadership of Equinox, we are efficiently driving the development of this technology. We use our experience in mechanical engineering, turbines and thrusters, electrical machine design, power electronics, and control technology.

In this way, we are working with Equinox towards a sustainable future, pushing the boundaries of maritime energy generation.
