The objective of the DTOceanPlus project was to develop a software suite of open source advanced tools for the selection, development and deployment of ocean energy systems. DTOceanPlus project made it to develop and demonstrate an open source sotftware suite of second generation design tools for ocean energy technologies including sub-systems, energy capture devices and arrays. These tools support the entire technology innovation process, from concept, through development, to deployment. More broadly, the project also provided an industry standard for communicating technology descriptions throughout the sector. To complement the numerical work, an extensive market analysis of the ocean energy sector is publicly available.

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.

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.
-
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.

The objective of the ANODE project was to quantify the chemical compounds emitted by the galvanic anodes of ORE structures and the risk associated with their dispersion in the marine environment. By combining ecotoxicological expertise and hydrodynamic modelling, the ANODE project has determined that there is no risk associated with most of the elements making up galvanic anodes, namely zinc, iron, copper and cadmium. On the other hand, concerning aluminium, additional experiments are necessary to conclude. The two currently available Predicted No-Effect Concentrations (PNECs) do not seem suitable for this assessment. These thresholds must therefore be refined and include data from in situ measurements in order to be able to estimate the possible risk associated with aluminium releases.

The objectives of the DUNES project are on the one hand to understand the sedimentary and ecosystem dynamics of underwater dunes, and on the other hand to provide technology developers and industrialists in the ORE sector with complementary knowledge and approaches to work in environments with hydraulic dunes. The expected results are first of all to have a better knowledge of the physical processes and the natural functioning of hydraulic dunes, to create a free access GIS dedicated to dune fields and sandbanks, to characterize on a fine scale of the structure of food webs in dunes to understand the functioning of these particular systems, and finally to establish methodological recommendations regarding the evaluation of anthropogenic impacts on dune ecosystems.

The objective of the APPEAL project was to develop an integrated approach to measure the effects of floating offshore wind farms on the functioning of coastal ecosystems.
-
The objectives of the DYNAMO project are: - to develop recommendations for the optimisation of in-service monitoring solutions for subsea cables at the farm leve - to propose a roadmap for the development of the identified promising technologies
-
The objective of the ARCWIND project was to assess the feasibility of floating wind farms in deep waters in the Eastern Atlantic.
-
The objective of the DiMe project was to improve the characterisation of extreme sea states with breaking waves by combining observations and modelling.
