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 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

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 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 deliverable presents the 1st report on dissemination and communication activities. It is a did term review

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

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.

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