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

This deliverable presents the results from the assessment of existing array level operation, maintenance and control methods and tools. Potential sources of knowledge for this are the onshore and offshore wind industry and the offshore oil and gas industry. Offshore wind farms face very similar challenges with respect to foundations, submersed electrical systems, personnel and vessel access to array devices, transport of materials, etc. The offshore oil and gas industry has worked with floating or bottom fixed concrete and steel structures for several decades. Main experiences analysed here are related to corrosion problems and long-term stability of mooring systems. Control and operational strategy aspects were also assessed

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

This paper presents an open source framework for modeling current and future ecological niches of marine species

The software generated by the DTOcean project automates the design of a feasible array of ocean energy converters for a relevant geographical location and technology type

This deliverable consists of two parts, first a legal guide to environmental assessment for floating wind farm projects, then in a second part, a study on the legal framework for the spatial planning of floating wind farms: The place of environmental assessment

This report sets out the training and educational activities, and the materials produced as part of the DTOceanPlus project.

Assessments run at AFWG provide the scientific basis for the management of cod, haddock, saithe, redfish, Greenland halibut and capelin in subareas 1 and 2. Taking the catch values provided by the Norwegian fisheries ministry for Norwegian catches1 and raising the total landed value to the total catches gives an approximate nominal first-hand landed value for the combined AFWG stocks of ca. 20 billion NOK or ca. 2 billion EUR (2018 estimates).

The objective of the DiMe project was to improve the characterisation of extreme sea states with breaking waves by combining observations and modelling.

This report outlines the proposed architecture and main functions of the DTOcean mooring and foundation design module and its interaction with other elements and modules of the tool
