This report is the outcome of an analysis of potential markets for ocean energy technology. The aim was to develop a greater understanding of the potential markets for the deployment and the exploitation of these technologies. The focus includes both the present market status and future opportunities for commercialisation of both grid and non-grid applications.

This report provides a critical evaluation of the ocean energy sector’s legal, institutional, and political frameworks with an identification and analysis of barriers and enabling factors for the deployment of ocean energy.

This report describes the methodology used to refine the validation scenarios and the compilation of required data inputs, accounting for the different potential use cases

A coherent set of functional and technical requirements have been developed for the DTOceanPlus suite of design tools based on analysis of gaps between the current state-of-the-art tools, learning from the original DTOcean project, and the stakeholder expectations identified in the user consultation survey. The technical requirements in this document are translated from the general requirements for the overall suite of tools, and specific requirements (functional, operational, user, interfacing, and data) for the Deployment design tool that will be developed as part of this project.

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

This deliverable presents the main components of the final and most important result of the project, namely the integrated suite of design tools for ocean energy systems innovation, development and deployment. The toolset includes: installer, catalogues, online documentation and example test cases.

This deliverable is a report documenting the outcome of the work carried out to deliver an overview of the outcomes of the verification tasks since the feedback from the users’ experience will be useful to improve the performance of the tools beyond the project end. The results of the validation scenarios, based on the feedback produced by the partners, will generate useful recommendations for the stakeholders willing to improve global performance of ocean energy arrays, single devices or critical components and subsystems. The work developed throughout the validation tasks will benefit from DTOcean+ tools to perform several activities, articulated in the respective reference validation scenarios, both for wave and tidal energy.

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.

The present document gathers the results from the analysis of the business plan basics presented in the proposal and further describes the value-added professional services and products.

This report collects the outcome of the work carried out to fully describing the data used for a generic ocean energy system design in a structured manner. This has been done by means of the definition of a digital representation for the elements of the whole system at different levels of aggregation (array, devices, sub-systems, and components) and accounting for different levels of complexity of the project. The ambition of the present framework is to standardise the data formats describing an ocean energy design so that it can be used as a common interchange language among different sector actors
