Our key assets, the Windsea and Seaobs, are designed to deliver a broad range of turnkey metocean and environmental measurements, providing reliable data for offshore energy and environmental surveillance.

WINDSEA

The WINDSEA is a floating lidar buoy featuring Vaisala’s Windcube LiDAR, powered by solar, wave, and wind power for autonomous sea operations. Its 5x3m aluminium float offers a secure deck for maintenance, passive stabilization to reduce pitch and roll, and a variety of sensors for versatile data collection, such as wave, conductivity, temperature, depth, bat and current.

The SEAOBS buoy has a 7.5x4m aluminium float that supports a variety of metocean and environmental sensors for diverse data collection. Powered by solar, wave, and wind energy with methanol backup, it operates autonomously at sea. Equipped with passive stabilization, it can include 2 certified LIDARs or a radar and environmental sensors for monitoring visually and acoustically birds, bats, and marine mammals.

about us :

Sens Of Life, founded in 2015, is a naturalist consultancy specializing in renewable energy, particularly wind power. The company develops innovative solutions to minimize the impact of wind farms on biodiversity, especially on avifauna and bats.
Their flagship products, such as ProBird® and ProBat®, leverage advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, to detect and dynamically regulate wind turbines in favor of wildlife.
With more than 110 parks and 650 wind turbines equipped with their systems, Sens Of Life is recognized in France and internationally. The company supports its clients at every stage of their projects, from design to operation, by offering naturalist studies, automated monitoring, and regulation solutions.
Sens of Life is also involved in offshore projects, contributing to world firsts in the monitoring of bats in marine environments.

ProBird®

ProBird® is a system for detecting, deterring, and dynamically regulating wind turbines to minimize their impact on avifauna. Cameras on the turbines detect birds (raptors and large soaring species) in real-time using a neural network and trigger appropriate responses based on their trajectory: acoustic warning or regulation

ProBat®

ProBat is an unprecedented dynamic wind turbine regulation system for bat conservation. By combining predictive analysis of bat activity with real-time detection from one or more recorders, ProBat balances bat preservation and energy production with far more targeted stops compared to traditional threshold-based curtailment, which it can replace.

#EnergyTransition #MRE #FloatingOffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreTest #EnvironmentalMonitoring

about us :

The largest offshore test centre for floating wind and Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) in Europe:
The OPEN-C Foundation is a non-profit public-interest organisation which contributes to a more rapid energy transition and to enhancing France’s position on these strategic issues.
 
The OPEN-C Foundation’s mission is to:
> operate the 5 French offshore test sites for floating wind and renewable marine energy: operation and development of offshore sites, hosting and monitoring tests of prototypes and technological innovations, research and innovation around offshore prototypes and equipments
> monitor the environmental impact of MRE’s: monitoring sites and demonstrators to assess their interactions with the environment
> contribute to the development of the sector: sharing knowledge with the scientific community and the public, improving safety procedures, offshore operations and maintenance, developing offshore infrastructures and encouraging investment in research and innovation via sponsorship.
 
Over the next 3 years, the OPEN-C Foundation will make several major innovations, including the testing of prototypes of new-generation floating wind turbines and support many innovative MRE projects. 

OPEN-C Foundation coordinates the 5 offshore test sites in France to host your prototype. After fundamental & technological research linked to the development of prototypes, offshore testing plays a major role in experimental development. In the next years, we will provide a new “High Power” test site dedicated to the next generation of wind turbines.

The OPEN-C Foundation take advantage of the presence of prototypes connected on its sites to host and support experimental collaborative projects. These innovation and R&D projects concern various themes, sites and issues of MRE, in particular: knowledge of the environment, monitoring and measurement systems, anchoring, dynamic cables…

Your company has an economic and social impact, and you are ready to take up the challenge of the energy transition. To be a player in the deployment of new technologies that meet the environmental challenges, you can become a contributor of the OPEN-C Foundation by making a donation to the Foundation in general or to a specific project.
