Épreuve de fermes d’ondes offshore en Europe
Led by CorPower Ocean, the POWER-Farm EU team will deploy the world’s largest ever wave energy farm – a 2.5MW installation composed of 7 world-leading CorPower wave energy convertors (WECs) – in the highly energetic North Atlantic ocean. This will de-risk wave energy technology, making it insurable and bankable, so that it can be deployed at large scale and play a significant role in decarbonising the EU's energy supply and advance energy security. The project will translate the EU's technology leadership in ocean energy into supply chain dominance by helping scale EU supply chain capacity, supporting strategic autonomy. The project builds on results from CorPower’s structured development programme, which has seen an individual WEC demonstrated in open-sea in Northern Portugal since 2023. Multiples of these WECs will be demonstrated along with farm-level demonstration of control systems, electrical architecture, anchoring, and offshore operations and maintenance methodologies. The farm's WECs will be derisked and optimised at CorPower’s dry testing facilities in advance of ocean deployment. Following this, the team will deploy the farm at the European Marine Energy Centre, the world’s leading test site for wave energy technology, which has existing onshore and offshore electrical infrastructure to connect the farm to the grid, and is pre-consented for wave energy technologies. It will operate for 15 years. The project will also demonstrate a step-change in volume manufacturing of wave energy devices, and develop capacity to service 100s of MWs of wave energy projects by the end of the project. The team will develop a pipeline of wave energy projects to enable commercialisation and support supply chain development. The project will incorporate a best-in-class environmental monitoring programme, gathering knowledge on the impacts of wave energy farms for the first time.
