In April 2026, Flex2Future completed an extensive model test campaign at SINTEF Ocean's facilities in Trondheim, Norway. The tests were carried out on a 1:25 scale model across two complementary campaigns.
In the Ocean Basin, the complete module, including a fully modelled mooring system, was tested under combined waves, current, and wind to characterise the structure's dynamic behaviour. In the Towing Tank, a representative corner section was tested across a range of wave conditions to study the concept's wave energy conversion.
The campaign provides valuable measurement data that will be used to validate and calibrate Flex2Future's numerical models, laying a solid foundation for continued development toward full scale. The testing program verified movements, survivability and energy production in line with numerical models.
We extend our sincere thanks to the team at SINTEF Ocean for a thorough and professional collaboration.
