The laboratory was established in 2013 with funding from the Norwegian Center for Offshore Wind Energy (NORCOWE), together with additional funding from UiA and the Research Council of Norway (National Financing Initiative for Research Infrastructure).
Students, researchers, and external partners can book Motion Lab to perform tests and measurements.
Research Infrastructure
The available setup and equipment enable the laboratory to function as a unique testing facility to develop, improve, and validate offshore motion compensation methods and other motion-related tasks in general.
In addition to the main equipment depicted below, the laboratory is equipped with several sensors and tracking equipment allowing a complete measurement coverage of the motion systems involved.
An additional E-Motion 1500 Mobile Stewart platform, portable on a car trailer, is accessible for use in all of Norway. Go to Equipment page for more information about the available equipment.
