SUREWAVE will develop and test an innovative concept of a Floating Photo-Voltaic (FPV) system consisting of an external floating
breakwater structure acting as a protection against severe wave-wind-current loads on the FPV modules, allowing increased operational
availability and energy output, thus unlocking the massive deployment of Offshore FPV. It will be focused on the research for securing
optimal behavior at aero & hydrodynamic and structural integrity level of the external breakwater, the internal FPV modular structure,
the connections, the mooring and anchoring, and the whole FPV system complying with mechanical, electrical (maximizing energy
output) and cost-efficiency requirements, ensuring high lifetime of critical components, high reliability of the system and easy, quick and
cost-efficient, construction, installation and O&M of the whole system. This will require: 1) the development of novel circular concrete
material solutions for the breakwater, cost-effective, easy to produce and with high mechanical, physical and durability properties and
low CO2 footprint. 2) the development of an advanced predictive computational modeling and simulation framework: coupled aero
& hydrodynamic modeling, Structural integrity modeling, material properties modeling and Structural Health Management to reduce
CAPEX and OPEX; 3) the design and implementation of an optimal testing and validation methodology for offshore FPV system to
achieve TRL5, including lab testing, basin-model testing and marine environment testing of critical components assuring high resilience
to corrosion and biofouling.
