D8.1 Cost Database Download Deliverable D8.1 This document consists of a cost database gathering all costs related to a wave energy project. A thorough literature review has been performed to compile the cost database. The document is divided into four sections. After a brief introduction, the first section enumerates all costs related to capital expenditure. …
D7.1 Operational Design Considerations Download Deliverable D7.1 This report summarises best practice guidelines and design considerations, for offshore operations. The information herein was by and large sourced from telephone interviews of a number of developers, with experience in areas such as offshore wind, wave, tidal and oil & gas. Initially, challenges encountered specific to the …
D5.1 Determination of performance function parametric structure Download Deliverable D5.1 Wave energy converters should be actively controlled to ensure maximum energy extraction from waves. However, it is important that the control objective is correctly posed, so that the control effort is directed towards economically advantageous actions. The objective of this document is to set the …
