Project flyer and summary presenting its outcomes

This document is the first annual report on dissemination and communication activities regarding DTOceanPlus project.

Deliverable D4.2 “Stage Gate Tools – alpha version” of the DTOceanPlus project includes the details of the Stage Gate Design Tool, and it represents the result of the work developed during task T4.2 of the project. This tool is an application of a stage gate process which is used in research and industry to provide structure to the technology development process. This approach supports the R&D pathway towards producing reliable and cost-effective ocean energy sub-systems, devices and arrays.

Suitability index of a wind farm in the NWMed concerning the environmental resources, the natural barriers, human activities, MPA and fisheries.

Deliverable D5.2 “Site Characterisation – alpha version” of the DTOceanPlus project include the details of the Deployment Tool module: “Site Characterisation” (SC), and it represents the result of the work developed during the task 5.3 of the project. This document summarises both the functionalities as well as the more technical aspects of the code implemented for this module.

A coherent set of requirements have been developed for the DTOceanPlus suite of design tools based on analysis of gaps between tools in mature industries and those in the ocean energy industry, learning from the original DTOcean project, and the stakeholder expectations identified in the user consultation exercise. The technical requirements in this document are translated from the general requirements for the overall suite of tools, and specific requirements (functional, operational, user, interfacing, and data) for the Stage Gate design tool that will be developed as part of this project.

The objective of the CARAVELE project was to improve the characterisation of extreme winds by combining atmospheric models with satellite and in-situ observations.
