Project

Demonstration of a 1-MW wave energy converter integrated in an offshore wind turbine farm — UPWAVE (UPWAVE)

The aim is to develop and install a pre-commercial wave energy converter (WEC) of 1MW power, the WAVESTAR C6-1000 device, with main targets the device industrialization and the demonstration of wind and wave energy applications. The utility company Parkwind, which develops, builds and operates wind farms in the North Sea, is committed to the achievement of WAVESTAR's nect development stage. Parkwind provides the installation site with frid connection for the first full-scale WAVESTAR WEC, located within a Belgian offshore wind farm
