This report provides a critical evaluation of the ocean energy sector’s legal, institutional, and political frameworks with an identification and analysis of barriers and enabling factors for the deployment of ocean energy.

The present document summarises both the functionalities, supporting theory, as well as the more technical aspects of the code implemented for this module. This module will provide the user with a set of metrics and assessments, such as the levelized cost of energy and internal rate of return, relevant to the techno-economic and financial assessments of wave and tidal renewable energy projects at different stages of development. A set of complementary metrics have been included, representing the costs of the systems against a set of benchmark values.

This document includes the details of the logistics and marine operations module of the deployment design tools. This module is responsible for designing and planning the project lifecycle phases of an ocean energy project. Reflecting the most recent experiences and best practices of the offshore wind sector, this module produces integrated solutions in respect to logistic infrastructure, comprised of vessels, equipment and ports, as well as operation durations and costs based on introduced historical weather data.

This report describes the compilation of required data inputs for the various validation scenarios. Each scenario is characterised through a set of project data, inherent to the technology as well as meteocean conditions and other location related data. Further engagement with the validation leaders is ensuring that the data is adequately formatted for the purposes of running the DTOcean+ tools.

The present document refines the previous version submitted in October 2019, updates the initial assumptions, and depicts more clearly the exploitation routes and actions to reduce risks.

The data management plan covers the complete research data life cycle. It describes the types of data that will be generated or collected during the project, the standards that will be used, how the data will be preserved and what parts of the datasets will be shared for verification or reuse.

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

The present document gathers the results from the analysis of the business plan basics presented in the proposal and further describes the value-added professional services and products.

This document summarizes both the module functionalities and the more technical aspects of the code implemented in the station keeping module.
