Marine energy and mining resources

Maritime safety and security

Enhanced performance of methods of surveillance and safeguarding lives and assets at sea improves safety and security for the whole maritime environment. ...
Shipbuilding and leisure boatbuilding

The shipbuilding industry is investing in research into clean technologies for economic development, improved safety and respect of the environment.
Marine energy and mining resources

Wind, wave and tide : the natural assets of the Freanch coastline offer significant marine energy potential.
Marine biological resources

Fishing and aquaculture provide an opportunity to develop a sound economic activity underpinned by deeper knowledge and understanding of biological resources.
Environmental and coastal planning and development

The littoral is an ecologically rich and fragile space, and one which is highly prized. Its management is complex and requires a balanced and integrated approach to development.
Maritime ports, infrastructure and transport

Maintaining their identity while integrating into the human and geographical environment, port cities are genuine laboratories of sustainable development within densely populated urban regions.

Outils

Le principal enjeu du projet VIMFLO est de développer une solution pour pouvoir réaliser la plupart des opérations de maintenance des éoliennes flottantes sur site et en particulier le remplacement des pales de turbines.

La complexité est liée à plusieurs facteurs :

Les éléments naturels : le vent, la houle, les marées, les courants,…
La hauteur des installations (en moyenne 150 mètres de haut),
La précision requise (au centimètre près).

VIMFLO doit permettre de disposer d’une solution « flotteur à flotteur » permettant d’exécuter une opération de levage avec une précision de moins de 1 cm à 150 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer.
