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
-
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

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 includes the proposed logistic model architecture in terms of flow charts, including data flows within the model and with other DTOcean modules and external databases and tools.
-
This deliverable presents the 1st report on dissemination and communication activities. It is a did term review
-
This document extensively reviews the key offshore logistics operations driving the development of an array of wave or tidal energy devices. A large amount of information with relevance for the development of the DTOcean lifecycle logistics module was compiled in a systematic approach.
-
This article studies the feasibility of combining a spar-type offshore wind turbine - inspired by Hywind - and a wave energy converter - inspired by Wavestar - by performing numerical simulations in operational conditions
-
This report presents the uncertainties and environmental impact dependencies on array changes. This document includes content about wave and tidal uncertainties as well as environmental issues related to array design
-
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.

This report consists of a comprehensive description of the logistic functions and associated logistical model forming the installation module developed within the frame of the global DTOcean tool. The overriding goal is to disclose the structure and content of the installation module
