The objective of Task 4.3 was to carry out the testing of the Stage Gate design tool in order to verify that it meets all the previously defined requirements (in WP2 and T4.1). This report documents the outcome of T4.3 “Verification of the Stage Gate design tool.”

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

This document summarizes both the module functionalities and the more technical aspects of the code implemented in the station keeping module.

A coherent set of 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 DTOcean project, and the stakeholder expectations identified in the user consultation exercise. The requirements in this document are split into general requirements for the overall suite of tools, and specific requirements (functional, operational, user, interfacing, and data) for each of the design tools that is developed as part of this, which are split by work package and task. They act as user specifications for the tool development work packages, and focus the development effort to best meet the needs of the ocean energy industry. Subsequent tasks of the DTOceanPlus project develop these requirements into more detailed technical requirements and software specifications, prior to software coding and integration, then testing and validation.

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

This report is the outcome of a feasibility and cost-benefit analysis. The aim of this task was to conduct an economic feasibility and cost-benefit analysis, to assess the technologies and funding frameworks to support attractive business cases for both public and private funders.

This document summarises both the functionalities as well as the more technical aspects of the code implemented for this module. This module will provide the user with four assessments: identification of the potential presence of endangered species in the area; environmental impacts estimated using relevant metrics such as the underwater noise or the collision risk between vessels/devices and the marine wildlife; estimation of the carbon footprint of the project in terms of two mid-point indicators; information to improve the social acceptance of the project considering cost of consenting and jobs creation.

This document serves as the technical manual of the alpha version of the energy capture module, including all the data requirements, main functions, interfaces and all the pertinent technical details describing the alpha version of the module for the energy capture of an array of wave energy converters or tidal energy converters.

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 report collates the materials used throughout the DTOceanPlus project on knowledge exchange and training.
