SINN Power is developing sustainable power generation technologies designed for harsh and maritime environments.

Using the scalable and versatile floating platform, together with is proprietary power electronics, we provide the ideal components for our wave power plants.

The company has been working on innovative wave energy systems since 2015. After years of R&D, SINN Power developed a maritime structure to generate renewable energy from waves, wind and photovoltaic (PV).

Dubbed the Ocean Hybrid Platform (OHP), SINN Power’s team deployed the versatile platform in a demonstration project offshore Greece in January 2021.

The OHP can be used to replace diesel generators on remote islands or to complement large offshore wind parks around the world, according to SINN Power.
