This document summarises both the functionalities as well as the more technical aspects of the code implemented for this module. This module will provide the user with four assessments: identification of the potential presence of endangered species in the area; environmental impacts estimated using relevant metrics such as the underwater noise or the collision risk between vessels/devices and the marine wildlife; estimation of the carbon footprint of the project in terms of two mid-point indicators; information to improve the social acceptance of the project considering cost of consenting and jobs creation.

This document is an update of the first version of the data management plan. This version describes in more detail the practical data management procedures implemented by the DTOceanPlus project.

The Structured Innovation (SI) design tool forms part of the DTOceanPlus suite of second-generation open source design tools for ocean energy. The SI tool comprises innovation methodologies which can enhance concept creation and selection in ocean energy systems (including sub-systems, energy capture devices and arrays), enabling a structured approach to address complex ocean energy engineering challenges where design options are numerous, and thus it can facilitate efficient evolution from concept to commercialisation.

A coherent set of requirements have been developed for the DTOceanPlus suite of design tools based on analysis of gaps between the current state-of-the-art tools, learning from the DTOcean project, and the stakeholder expectations identified in the user consultation exercise. The requirements in this document are split into general requirements for the overall suite of tools, and specific requirements (functional, operational, user, interfacing, and data) for each of the design tools that is developed as part of this, which are split by work package and task. They act as user specifications for the tool development work packages, and focus the development effort to best meet the needs of the ocean energy industry. Subsequent tasks of the DTOceanPlus project develop these requirements into more detailed technical requirements and software specifications, prior to software coding and integration, then testing and validation.

This document serves as the technical manual of the alpha version of the system performance and energy yield module, including all the data requirements, main functions, interfaces and all the pertinent technical details.

This deliverable is a report documenting the outcome of the work carried out to deliver an overview of the outcomes of the verification tasks since the feedback from the users’ experience will be useful to improve the performance of the tools beyond the project end. The results of the validation scenarios, based on the feedback produced by the partners, will generate useful recommendations for the stakeholders willing to improve global performance of ocean energy arrays, single devices or critical components and subsystems. The work developed throughout the validation tasks will benefit from DTOcean+ tools to perform several activities, articulated in the respective reference validation scenarios, both for wave and tidal energy.

This report collects the outcome of the work carried out to fully describing the data used for a generic ocean energy system design in a structured manner. This has been done by means of the definition of a digital representation for the elements of the whole system at different levels of aggregation (array, devices, sub-systems, and components) and accounting for different levels of complexity of the project. The ambition of the present framework is to standardise the data formats describing an ocean energy design so that it can be used as a common interchange language among different sector actors

This deliverable presents the main components of the final and most important result of the project, namely the integrated suite of design tools for ocean energy systems innovation, development and deployment. The toolset includes: installer, catalogues, online documentation and example test cases.

This document aimed at developing a comprehensive communication plan developed at the beginning of the project in accordance with the overall project management. This plan was an evolving document built on a targeted communication of the DTOceanPluq project results and capitalization on the community. It is the reference framework for evaluating the impact of communication and dissemination activities.

The aim of this document is to present the activity carried out by the three industrial partners who validated the DTOcean+ suite against five tidal energy validation scenarios.
