In this results transfer workshop, we will present the new sustainable concepts of floating photovoltaic plants for the marine environment developed in the EkiOcean initiative.
The Energy Cluster and TECNALIA are organising this workshop in collaboration with the partners of the EKIOCEAN initiative to present the research carried out to date on new sustainable concepts of floating photovoltaics for the marine environment. We will also address the main results achieved and the next steps. Furthermore, there will be spaces for debate to compare the work carried out and its potential usefulness among the participating companies, in order to promote opportunities for collaboration and technology transfer.
About the EKIOCEAN project
EKIOCEANis an initiative coordinated by TECNALIA and developed in collaboration with Azti, Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM), the Department of Energy Engineering at UPV/EHU, Polymat at UPV/EHU and the Energy Cluster, supported by the Basque Government through the Elkartek programme.
The objectives of EKICOCEAN are:
- Characterise the impact of floating photovoltaic (FPV) plants on the marine environment
- Research innovative and sustainable solutions for this type of plant and its critical components (flotation systems, materials, etc.)
- Design planning tools that minimise the potential environmental impact of the deployment of this type of offshore installations
** Registration is required to attend the workshop
