Title
Study of the possible use and reuse of flexible fluid transfer hoses used in the offshore O&G industry for the assembly of floating support structures for the production of photovoltaic electricity.

Field of study.
[i] Mechanical study of the basic equipment, the hose, in its various dimensions (diameter, length) and type of manufacture,
[ii] Identification of the parameters and characteristics useful for selecting the elements intended for assembly into a floating structure,
[iii] Design of a floating structure and its anchoring system, determination of the optimum dimensions for a float to accommodate PV panels.
[iv] Principles of integration of PV panels on the floating structure,
[v] Modelling of the floating structure and the anchoring system,

[vi] Preliminary study of a recycling sector for industrial components. Assessment of existing volumes. Protocol for selecting used components. Sensitivity study to assess the impact of the heterogeneity of components within the same structure,
[vii] Evaluation of the energy performance of the system (specific and representative region),
[viii] Preliminary economic evaluation,
[ix] Preparation of a technical file for patent registration,
[x] Conclusion. Prospects for a demonstration phase (budget and schedule).
