title = "FLOAT Project: Task 2.2 Testing of CRC specimens",
abstract = "The objective of the FLOAT project is to study the reliability of high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete, also known as Compact Reinforced Composite (CRC), for the floats of wave energy converters. In order to reach a commercial breakthrough, wave energy converters need to achieve a lower price of energy produced, comparable to prices currently obtained from offshore wind power, and this can be done by the use of more suitable materials. The flotation device is a key part of converters, as it accounts for a considerable share of initial investment, up to 27% depending on the converter. CRC floats could lead to enhanced loading capacity and environmental resistance, and very low maintenance requirements, affecting directly the final energy price.",
