Tank tests | Santander | 2021
In May-June 2021, Seaturns conducts two weeks of tests at Cantabria Coastal and Ocean Basin, the wave basin of IH Cantabria in Spain. These trials enable testing a wave energy converter at a scale of 1:10, which is a great step forward in Seaturns’ R&D programme. At this scale, it is possible to test an energy capture turbine and moorings representative of current practices in the offshore sector.
The access to the basin was funded by the European Union as part of the MaRINET2 programme.
Tank tests | Porto | 2020
In November 2020, Seaturns conducts two weeks of tests in the wave basin of Porto University. The objective of these tests is to optimise the performance and to characterise the behavior of the system in multi-floaters configuration, in different sea states. The resistance in extreme conditions, with survival waves at varied incidences, is also tested.
The access to the basin was funded by the European Union as part of the Interreg Atlantic Area PORTOS Project.
