The objective of the DTOceanPlus project was to develop a software suite of open source advanced tools for the selection, development and deployment of ocean energy systems. DTOceanPlus project made it to develop and demonstrate an open source sotftware suite of second generation design tools for ocean energy technologies including sub-systems, energy capture devices and arrays. These tools support the entire technology innovation process, from concept, through development, to deployment. More broadly, the project also provided an industry standard for communicating technology descriptions throughout the sector. To complement the numerical work, an extensive market analysis of the ocean energy sector is publicly available.

This document identifies gaps in knowledge and emphasizes the need for long-term monitoring of marine mammals in order to better understand the impacts of wind turbines on them

The objective of the ARCWIND project was to assess the feasibility of floating wind farms in deep waters in the Eastern Atlantic.

Measurement of the diameter of the biocolonised moorings and the composition of the biofouling at T+12 months of immersion.

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

This document briefly presents the methodology used to build the Ecosim and Ecospace models representing the extended Seine Bay ecosystem as well as the main results.

The use of an ecological niche model has made it possible to characterize on the one hand the effects of climate change on the native species of the Gulf of Lio, such as displacements of favorable habitats or the reduction of the surface of the habitat. favor of native species. On the other hand, the potential displacement of the favorable habitat of some subtropical species in the Gulf of Lion could be expected. They would then become non-indigenous species (NIS)

This deliverable is a review of existing approaches and methodologies for the analysis of ocean energy arrays with a clear focus on the results and conclusions provided by previous experiences. The key outcome is the definition of quantifiable and qualitative metrics for economic viability, reliability and environmental impact which have been adopted in the global set of tools developed within the project DTOcean

This deliverable consists of two parts. The first one is a comprehensive review of all the electrical infrastructure technologies between the converter and the point of connection to the onshore electrical grid. The second one is a set of operating regimes of the ocean energy conversion arrays

This deliverable presents the results from the assessment of existing array level operation, maintenance and control methods and tools. Potential sources of knowledge for this are the onshore and offshore wind industry and the offshore oil and gas industry. Offshore wind farms face very similar challenges with respect to foundations, submersed electrical systems, personnel and vessel access to array devices, transport of materials, etc. The offshore oil and gas industry has worked with floating or bottom fixed concrete and steel structures for several decades. Main experiences analysed here are related to corrosion problems and long-term stability of mooring systems. Control and operational strategy aspects were also assessed
