The aim of this document is to present the activity carried out by the four industrial partners who validated the DTOcean+ suite against five wave energy validation scenarios.

This document collects the main guidelines, standards and procedures applicable to the implementation of the tools and modules in the DTOcean+ suite.

Technology readiness levels are a widely used metric of technology maturity and risk for marine renewable energy devices. To-date, a large number of device concepts have been proposed which have reached the early validation stages of development. Only a handful of mature designs have attained pre-commercial development status following prototype sea trials. In order to navigate through the aptly named “valley of death” towards commercial realisation, it is necessary for new technologies to be de-risked in terms of component durability and reliability. In this paper the scope of the reliability assessment module of the DTOcean design tool is outlined including aspects of tool integration, data provision and how prediction uncertainties are accounted for

This report outlines the proposed architecture and main functions of the DTOcean mooring and foundation design module and its interaction with other elements and modules of the tool

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
