Period:
from 2010 to 2012
Description:

The objective of this project is to develop the control system that will monitor the sea conditions and the state of a wave energy converter (based on data from an oceanographic buoy). With this information, actuators (modified flotation, acting on the system of conversion, etc.) of the converter will be controlled or it will be set in survive position with extreme sea conditions.

This is an outsourced project within the project CENIT-E OCEAN LIDER involving 20 companies and 25 research centers with a total budget of 30 million Euros, the largest initiative of its kind worldwide.
