The function and type of mooring and/or foundation system are determined by a number of factors including: cost, site characteristics, expected environmental loading and environmental or legislative constraints. The design of the device and its mode of operation will also influence the decision-making process. It is the role of DTOcean to produce a decision-making tool which has the capability to assess a range of technologies for the design and selection of mooring and foundation systems for marine renewable energy device arrays. In this report, criteria are introduced which can be used to appraise technologies and approaches relevant to MRE devices

The objectives of the DTOcean project were: • To accelerate the industrial development of knowledge related to wave and tidal energy production. • To provide design tools for the deployment of the first generation of ocean energy systems.

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

This report details the algorithms for implementation of the effects of array changes on device cost

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 is a comprehensive description of the environmental impacts related to operations and maintenance. All marine operations related to inspection, maintenance and repair lead to environmental impacts due to vessel traffic, noise emissions, handling of mooring lines, anchors and cables, etc.

This report provides an introduction to the architecture of the installation module within the DTOcean global tool

Project website is one of the main communication and dissemination tools. Web presence is therefore a central element of the DTOcean project and activities

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

This deliverable reports on the framework for the prediction of the reliability, economic and environmental criteria and assessment methodologies for moorings and foundations.
