Thanks to the metocean buoy installed in bimep, TRL+ offers real time metocean data in the test site. The WAVESCAN buoy is located two nautical miles offshore the Bas­que coast (-2.8848˚E, 43.4682˚N, 80 m depth). Installation, communications and periodic maintenance of the WAVESCAN buoy in bimep was developed by AZTI for Biscay Marine Energy Platform S.A. BIMEP (2011-2016).
