Symphony Wave Power installs key component for its dry-test system

Netherlands-based Symphony Wave Power has completed the installation of a turbine in its dry-test system, marking a step towards the development of its wave energy technology.

The dry-test system installation represents an important phase in Symphony’s validation program, enabling the company to perform functionality and efficiency tests before progressing to sea trials.

“A special appreciation goes to DMEC (Dutch Marine Energy Centre) and Offshore Energy – Marine Energy for their contributions to advancing marine energy solutions,” said Symphony Wave Power in a social media post.

In June, Symphony Wave Power unveiled that it is approaching dry testing, the next stage of its wave power technology validation program. This step is said to allow the company to test the functionality and efficiencies before heading to sea trials.

In October 2023, as a part of the ENCORE project, the company conducted lab testing in Sines in Portugal of its submerged wave energy converter solution, and further completed the power take-off (PTO) assembly and testing in the Netherlands at the facilities of partner and investor Multimetaal in Den Helder.
