SeaPattern begins strategic partnership with Actemium to manufacture pre-series turbines

Through the partnership, Actemium manufactures the turbines for SeaPattern’s industrialization phase. There, pilot projects will show that the complete solution increases electricity generation by 7–10 %, without investments in heavy infrastructure.

SeaPattern’s plug-and-play solution captures the kinetic energy in the water downstream of existing hydropower plants. The turbines are a core component of the complete system. They work together with proprietary AI-based CFD software, patented Dynamic Grid technology and hardware for grid integration. The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is 4–5 times lower than the alternatives.

Actemium’s commitment spans the entire manufacturing chain: machining with water-jet cutting, turning and milling, as well as welding, assembly of electrical cabinets and testing. Production and assembly take place mainly at Actemium’s mechanical workshop in Norrköping. Final system integration is done in Linköping, where SeaPattern currently carries out demonstrations.

“Together we show that innovation in renewable energy does not always require new infrastructure. Sometimes the greatest opportunities lie in optimizing what already exists,” Boman adds.
