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

Configuration of the ocean model and biogeochemical modules

The software generated by the DTOcean project automates the design of a feasible array of ocean energy converters for a relevant geographical location and technology type

Comparison of multiparameter probes

This report consists of a comprehensive description of the logistic functions and associated logistical model forming the installation module developed within the frame of the global DTOcean tool. The overriding goal is to disclose the structure and content of the installation module

This report focuses on two important parameters for biofouling image analysis: the artificial light and the distance to the structure. The first section presents the available tool that was already deployed in several studies in link with industrial needs (O’Byrne et al., 2018c) and the laboratory equipment. Section 2 focuses on the automatic segmentation algorithm and the indicators of quality of assessments. Finally section 3 introduces configurations that were tested and the key results.

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

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

Backup of the data used for characterising the different biofouling monitoring protocols in an excel file.

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.
