Floating platforms harvest electricity at sea

In the race against climate change, researchers and companies around the world are constantly developing new ideas for sustainable energy - in Germany, too, of course. The German start-up Sinn Power even taps three renewable energy sources at the same time. To do this, the company has developed a new technology for offshore power plants

A combination of wave power plant, photovoltaic system and wind turbine is to supply coastal locations with electricity.

To increase their efficiency, Sinn Power is working with our Prof. Christoph Hackl and his team.

Each unit consists of four integrated wave energy converters that generate energy depending on the water conditions. In regions with low wave action, additional photovoltaic cells generate electricity. In addition, four small wind turbines can be connected to each square-shaped module.
