Scientific advances and innovation

  • Dynamic and real time simulation of the energy conversion and storage, coupled to a virtual component (electric grid) or a real component (battery).
  • Autonomous experimentation platform for grid integration of marine energies.
  • Optimal energy management adapted to the periodicity and evolution of the resource.

The SeaStorage project is coordinated by CEA Tech.
