USE CASES

Slovenia

Overview

In Slovenia, the Sigma Wave Energy Converter (WEC) offers an innovative approach to renewable energy, generating power from ocean waves. The 30-kW prototype, connected to the grid offshore from Bar, Montenegro, was deployed in 2022 with sensors and cameras to monitor performance and health, making it a living laboratory for marine energy.

Sigma WEC demonstrates the future of marine renewables, pushing the boundaries of clean energy innovation with resilient technology.

Objectives

  • Detect and prevent faults in critical components to improve the device’s availability.
  • Enhance device durability through predictive maintenance strategies.
  • Use sensor data to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
