Measurement of the diameter of biocolonised moorings and biofouling composition at T+6 months of immersion.

To reduce the number of interventions and maintenance operations, it is necessary to monitor the proliferation of marine fouling in real time and over a long period. This is why it is necessary to have an in situ optical video system that is protected for as long as possible against biocolonisation.

Measurement of the diameter of the biocolonised moorings and the composition of the biofouling at T+12 months of immersion.

This report presents the evaluation according to costs estimation of different maintenance strategies

This document serves as the technical manual of the alpha version of the energy delivery module, including all the data requirements, main functions, interfaces and all pertinent technical details.

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

The objective of the BENTHOSCOPE project was to diagnose the state and evolution of benthic communities in a rocky marine habitat by listening to the sounds they produce, similar to the stethoscope in the medical field.

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
