IMPACT: SINTEF Joins â¬3.3m EU Wave Energy Research Project IMPACT: SINTEF Joins â¬3.3m EU Wave Energy Research Project Trondheim-based research institutes SINTEF Energy Research and SINTEF Ocean are both taking part in a new collaborative research and innovation project that will develop and demonstrate a next generation testing approach for Wave Energy Converters (WECs).
IMPACT (Innovative Methods for Wave Energy Pathways Acceleration through Novel Criteria and Test Rigs) aims to accelerate testing device development and reduce the technology cost as part of a global advancement in wave energy converter technologies. The three-year €3.3m (NOK 33.5m) project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
