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

The objective of the CASSIOWPE project was to support the development of offshore wind energy in the French Mediterranean coastal areas by providing a database of high-resolution observations of wind, wave and current fields as well as a new numerical tool for the modelling of metocean conditions in the Gulf of Lion.

This article studies the feasibility of combining a spar-type offshore wind turbine - inspired by Hywind - and a wave energy converter - inspired by Wavestar - by performing numerical simulations in operational conditions

Database of images collected at ABIOP monitoring sites (UTLN = Mola buoy offshore Banyuls, SEMREV = special marks east and north, UN = biocolmar buoy) + report on biofouling characterisation (rapport_taxo_ABIOP_provisoire)

This report presents the evaluation according to costs estimation of different maintenance strategies

This deliverable is the second report on dissemination and communication activities, i.e. the end of the project review. It presents all of the activities which have taken place within DTOcean project

In this paper, the applicability of offshore mooring/foundation technologies for marine renewable energy device arrays are assessed

This report presents the project repository for DTOcean is hosted by Joint Research Centre within the SETIS website to ensure long-term exploitation of the tools developed during the project and related documents

Report on the assessment of the chemical risk of aluminum-based galvanic anodes on the environment

This paper presents the assessment of potential impacts of changes in species distribution by climate change on the extended Seine Bay ecosystem.
