VALID will provide an accurate correlation between the conditions at sea and in the laboratory by adapting innovative hybrid testing methodologies from the automotive industry.
The VALID initiative will develop a hybrid testing platform for accelerated testing, combining both physical and virtual environments. It is aimed at reducing product development process costs for harnessing ocean energy; it tackles the challenges of scaling up and minimises uncertainties.
VALID will use and adapt innovative hybrid testing methodologies, which are currently often used in the automotive industry, and apply them to three different case studies specific to the ocean energy sector. This new approach changes the perspective of accelerated testing. Establishing a precise correlation between ocean and laboratory conditions will make it possible to develop common test procedures and promote technological convergence across Europe.
