Flexible plot lay-outs
Energy
Energy solutions such as wave and tidal energy, floating solar power, hybrid systems that combine offshore wind with energy storage, and energy supply solutions for aquaculture and seaweed cultivation installations. In addition, innovative applications such as energy generation integrated into marine infrastructure or nature-inclusive designs can be tested at the site.
Nature
Nature-inclusive concepts can be explored, such as energy systems designed to create habitat for marine life, offshore structures that enhance biodiversity, and multifunctional installations where energy production, aquaculture, and ecosystem restoration go hand in hand. Artificial reefs, and nature-based coastal protection can be integrated into technical designs and evaluated under real offshore conditions.
food
At the testsite, solutions such as offshore aquaculture, seaweed and microalgae cultivation, and integrated multi-trophic systems can be tested under real offshore conditions. These approaches support the production of healthy, low-impact proteins and ingredients for food, feed, and bio-based applications.
Monitoring
Remote monitoring, autonomous systems, and digital twins can be tested for applications such as energy installations, aquaculture and seaweed farms, environmental monitoring, and offshore infrastructure. Sensors, robotics, drones, and AI-driven data platforms enable continuous insight into system performance and ecosystem health, even in challenging offshore environments.
