The IMPACT project officially concluded on 30 June 2024.
|
The IMPACT Consortium would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has followed and supported the project over its lifetime. It's been three years of productive and interesting collaboration as we worked together to achieve our dual hardware-in-the-loop testing platform, to advance wave energy converter development!
|
The drivetrain test rig and structural components test rig developed through the project will now continue in the Structural Wave Energy Equipment Test (SWEET) Lab in Italy. We're looking forward to seeing their continued contributions to realising wave energy's potential!
|
We do still have one last thing to share: our final project report is due to be published in August - watch this space!
|
But other than that - we'll see you in the next project!

Novel “Dual-Hardware-In-The-Loop” Testing Platform Can Accelerate Wave Energy Converter Development
|
|
The European project IMPACT has developed an innovative approach for testing wave energy converter (WEC) reliability, performance and destructive testing. The dual hardware-in-the-loop (Dual HIL) platform tests different parts of the WEC simultaneously, providing a holistic picture of how the various components behave and impact each other. As such, this approach increases confidence for WEC deployment, while reducing both the time and expenses connected with testing.
|
“The IMPACT project resulted in a new testing infrastructure and applicable methodologies that can be used by WEC developers to accelerate their technology development pathways, and find out eventual criticalities associated with a subsystem or even at WEC level,” said Giacomo Alessandri from VGA, the project’s coordinating partner.
