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.

Deliverable D4.2 “Stage Gate Tools – alpha version” of the DTOceanPlus project includes the details of the Stage Gate Design Tool, and it represents the result of the work developed during task T4.2 of the project. This tool is an application of a stage gate process which is used in research and industry to provide structure to the technology development process. This approach supports the R&D pathway towards producing reliable and cost-effective ocean energy sub-systems, devices and arrays.

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

This document aimed at developing a comprehensive communication plan developed at the beginning of the project in accordance with the overall project management. This plan was an evolving document built on a targeted communication of the DTOceanPluq project results and capitalization on the community. It is the reference framework for evaluating the impact of communication and dissemination activities.

This report is the outcome of a task dedicated to specific sector standards for business management models for the ocean energy sector. The aim of this task was to define alternative business models for the sector by developing a greater understanding of these models and recommending development routes to industrial roll-out to improving the market opportunity.

The Structured Innovation (SI) design tool forms part of the DTOceanPlus suite of second-generation open source design tools for ocean energy. The SI tool comprises innovation methodologies which can enhance concept creation and selection in ocean energy systems (including sub-systems, energy capture devices and arrays), enabling a structured approach to address complex ocean energy engineering challenges where design options are numerous, and thus it can facilitate efficient evolution from concept to commercialisation.

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

This report documents the outcome of the verification of the deployment design tools.

The present document summarises both the functionalities, supporting theory, as well as the more technical aspects of the code implemented for this module. This module will provide the user with a set of metrics and assessments, such as the levelized cost of energy and internal rate of return, relevant to the techno-economic and financial assessments of wave and tidal renewable energy projects at different stages of development. A set of complementary metrics have been included, representing the costs of the systems against a set of benchmark values.

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.
