Description

Funded under European Union's Horizon 2020 Programme, OPERA project’s main objective is to reduce the time to market of wave energy, by further advancing in 4 key innovations aiming to reduce up to 50% the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) projections of a floating Oscillating Water Column (OWC) technology.

As part of project activities, a series of Power Take-Off (PTO) and Control Law (CL) tests were carried out using IDOM's MARMOK-A-5 wave energy converter, while this was deployed in the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) from October 2018 to June 2019.

The datasets herein contain a collection of PTO and CL testing results obtained during this extensive testing campaign, providing quantitative evidence of the performance of both innovations. 

Notes

Further documentation regarding Power Take-Off, Control Law and WEC instrumentation system is available in the "Publications" section of the project web page: http://opera-h2020.eu/.
