The main characteristics of this test area are the following:

• Surface area: 1.308 m² .

• Distance from the coast: 65 m.

• Depth: 26-27 m.

The platform is equipped with electrical connection points in low voltage, equipment for measuring the renewable resource and metoceanic conditions, and the necessary bathymetric surveys have been carried out to facilitate the rapid testing of marine solutions.

Equipment & configuration

• 2 submarine cables of 250 kW power each in low voltage (three-phase) equipped with fiber optics to connect the platform with the dock.

• Connection buoys to facilitate the attachment of prototypes ( plug & play ).

• Buoy for measuring metocean conditions equipped with radiation, temperature and relative humidity sensors. The aim is that the data collected will serve as a basis for the modelling and sizing of the plant, and once the system is installed, it will serve to validate the efficiency of the installation.

• Doppler enabled for measuring wave conditions in the analyzed area. This doppler is also considered a key element in providing measurements of the metoceanic conditions which have a particular influence on the maintenance of safe and stable conditions on the floating platform.

• Bathymetric survey of the area.

• Auxiliary infrastructures.
