Co-ordinated Action on Ocean Energy

Objective

Ocean energy industries and research organisations are at present small and scattered. Nevertheless between 5 and 10 different large scale Ocean Energy systems including new and unproven technology are in the process of seeking funding and private investors to carry out the development required from scale models to working prototypes at sea.

Different principles for wave energy conversion and tidal stream systems are preparing and being installed for prototype testing at different sites within Europe and several other principles are investigated at a more fundamental level.

In general the public is not aware of the development of Ocean Energy exploitation. There is a need to make a united effort from the developers and research community to present the various principles and results in a co-ordinated manner with public appeal.

In order to disseminate the knowledge and promote the technologies the co-ordinated Action on Ocean Energy will organize dedicated interactive workshops, as vehicles to enable co-operation between the interested European parties in the sector of Ocean Energy.

The main deliverables are the workshop proceedings and expert evaluation reports from the five workshops.

1 modeling of Ocean Energy Systems

2 Component Technology and Power Take-off

3 System design Construction of Ocean Energy Systems

4 Performance Monitoring of Ocean Energy Systems

5 Environmental Economics, Development Policy and Promotion of Opportunities



The main objectives are to develop a common knowledge base necessary for coherent development R&D policies to bring a coordinated approach within key areas of ocean energy research and development, to provide a forum for longer term marketing of promising research deliverables, revise and implement standards related to monitoring performance and presentation of results, safety on structural and electrical system design.
