Case Study: GDF SUEZ-Futures Energies achieves detailed tidal site characterization and yield estimates with Sinay and Open Ocean

GDF SUEZ-Futures Energies - Customer Case Study

Sinay worked with GDF SUEZ-Futures Energies, a major player in renewable energy that needed a comprehensive site characterization, metocean analysis, and tidal farm yield estimate for a new pilot tidal farm in the Alderney Race. This data was critical for the company to effectively plan the installation and maintenance of its project.

To address this challenge, Sinay performed high-resolution wave, 2D, and 3D ocean current numerical simulations on unstructured grids. This provided GDF SUEZ with a detailed metocean analysis and site characterization for the area. Furthermore, Sinay computed yield estimates for various tidal array configurations, enabling the customer to decide on the optimal setup for their farm.
