Business Profile
For over a decade, Converteam has been involved in the wet renewable market covering power produced from waves, tidal and ocean currents. Converteam has been selected by many leading players in the implementation of a variety of concept and technologies.
In the development of wave and tidal power, the devices will convert natural energy into a mechanical form, often rotational, and in some cases linear which is transformed into electrical power by a generator. Building on the experience developed from wind and other businesses, Converteam has proven converters and control algorithms ensuring a full compliance with any grid code requirement.
In addition to the generators and converters, Converteam is also involved in the transmission of power generated to the shore, as well as in grid connection and power quality systems.
Besides, Converteam builds on several decades of experience of electrical equipment and systems used in hostile environments, like the marine ones, and has developed solutions mitigating these challenges with respect to reliability and maintenance – exceptionally critical in a subsea installation.
