Tank tests | Nantes | 2023
In February 2023, Seaturns is conducting two weeks of tests in the wave and ocean engineering basin of the LHEEA Centrale Nantes, the Laboratoire de recherche en Hydrodynamique, Énergétique et Environnement Atmosphérique at École Centrale de Nantes. These tests enable establishing reference power matrices to evaluate energy performance in greater detail, and analysing survival configurations in severe sea states.
These tests were funded by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region as part of an R&D start-up innovation support contract.
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.
