Current TRL 5

So, in the horizon of next 3 years a reach-to-market must be achieved.

Next step TRL 6 – technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies).

Milestone: a similar test that carried at BIMEP buoy should be done considering a fixed and widely contrasted land-based reference point:

One of the challenging aspects to face in the next steps in the Smart Sensor © development is to design an effective test plan that demonstrate its performance in other real scenarios, like real FOWTs or even FOWTs farm.

According to the definition of Technology readiness levels (TRL) into the Annex G of HORIZON 2020 – WORK PROGRAMME 2014-2015 we have reach a TRL 5 – technology validated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies) with the Smart Sensor ©. 

One of the challenging aspects to face in the next steps in the Smart Sensor © development is to design an effective test plan that demonstrate its performance in other real scenarios

There is a Plan to reach te market into the next 36 months, the plan has been included into the MooringSense Project Deliverables.

This technology is replicable in transport applieances.

Since it is a non-expensive and cost-effective technology, it can be easily issued into sustainable bussiness models
