This document presents an analysis of the isotopic ratios of organisms sampled on the site of the future Windfarm.

The objective of the TROPHIK project was to model the role of offshore wind turbines and other anthropogenic activities in modifying the functioning of thefood webs of the Bay of Seine by taking climate change into account. TROPHIK has initiated a methodology to move from the sectoral vision of environmental impact studies to a functional and holistic approach. The analysis of the sensitivity of the functioning of the food web to the development of offshore wind farms represents a solid basis for recommending new areas of implantation. This approach will be completed within the framework of APPEAL and WINDSERV by integrating the societal and economic environment as well as biogeochemical forcings

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

With the DTOcean software at an important stage in its development, the first of two training workshops foreseen by the project was organised on 5 May 2015, in Glasgow, alongside the All-Energy conference. The workshop was organised with the following goals in mind: validate decisions taken to date with industry stakeholders; generate feedback which will further align the tool with industry needs; and promote the DTOcean tool and enhance its eventual uptake as a result

This study is a numerical experiment to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a set of ecosystem indicators, including ANS, to fishing pressure.

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 objectives of the AESTUS project were: • To develop and finalise the tools and procedures necessary to create relevant databases. • To analyse these databases to acquire new knowledge on turbulent phenomena within high intensity flows that can be used by engineering companies for their design studies.

Variability in the predicted cost of energy of an ocean energy converter array is more substantial than for other forms of energy generation, due to the combined stochastic action of weather conditions and failures. If the variability is great enough, then this may influence future financial decisions. This paper provides the unique contribution of quantifying variability in the predicted cost of energy and introduces a framework for investigating reduction of variability through investment in components.
