This project validates small‑scale wave energy prototypes for Saint‑Nazaire, a region with high wave potential and SEM‑REV infrastructure. Two small‑scale wave energy converter prototypes – a point‑absorber buoy with a linear generator and an oscillating water column (OWC) equipped with a Wells turbine – were designed, built from , and experimentally validated in a laboratory wave tank.
