Productive Project Meeting for MORE-CETP at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim
25th of September, we had a highly productive project meeting for the MORE-CETP project at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. It was a fantastic opportunity to review the project’s progress, address potential risks, and lay out a detailed roadmap for upcoming activities. Big thanks to our hosts Nuria Espallargas and Hamid Khanmohammadi!
We kicked off with an insightful overview of the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) sector, focusing on its unique environments and operational challenges. This was followed by a deep dive into critical subsystems within two of the project's key use cases—Wavepiston and CorPower Ocean—which will drive the MORE project’s objectives. Our goal? To develop a robust new methodology, paired with advanced tools for material selection and validation, ensuring harmonized testing procedures that will enable the next generation of materials for ORE devices. These advancements are crucial in tackling today's energy and environmental challenges.
The day concluded with exciting lab visits to SINTEF and NTNU, where we were impressed by their extensive research capabilities in tribocorrosion, multi-degradation, and advanced materials and surface characterization. A highlight was the nearly complete Small-Scale Multi-Degradation (SSMD) test rig, which will soon enable groundbreaking studies on the impact of combined forces—such as bending fatigue and wear—on materials and coatings.
Looking forward to the next steps as we continue making strides in the ORE sector!
