Centrale Nantes providing support to SBM Offshore for the deployment of an offshore test site in Monaco to test their S3® Wave Energy Converter
SBM Offshore is developing a unique type of wave energy converter, which measures 60 metres in length and 1.2 metres in diameter. The operating principle of this prototype is based on wave propagation which deforms a flexible structure made of Electro Active Polymers, thus generating electricity.

Thanks to a technical partnership with Centrale Nantes and IFP Energies Nouvelles, supported by the Investments for the Future Programme via ADEME, SBM offshore plans to test its S3® system offshore from Monaco.
Centrale-Nantes' SEM-REV team is providing support to SBM Offshore to develop the new test site via a transfer of expertise and experience acquired from 10 years of measurement, test site development and offshore testing of MRE systems.
The S3® system will be deployed in Monaco in 2021 for one year, giving SBM Offshore the opportunity to validate performance in real conditions.
