European Impact project develops dual HIL platform for testing wave energy converters

The European Impact project, an initiative that translates the EU’s sustainable development goals into daily business practices, has introduced a novel method for testing the reliability, performance and structural integrity of wave energy converters (WECs). 

This approach, known as the dual hardware-in-the-loop (dual HIL) platform, enables simultaneous testing of different WEC components to provide an understanding of how these parts interact.

Despite significant advancements in WEC technology, challenges remain, particularly in ensuring device reliability and the performance of the power take-off systems.
