Marine Renewables Infrastructure Network for Emerging Energy Technologies (MARINET)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Offshore Renewable Conversion systems are mostly at the pre-commercial stage of development. They comprise wave energy and tidal stream converters as well as offshore wind turbines for electrical generation. These devices require research to be undertaken at a series of scales along the path to commercialization. Each technology type is currently at a different stage of development but each one al ...

Grid connection of Wave Energy Converters: investigation on storage requirements and solutions (SEA2GRID)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"""Sea2grid"" project is developed in the field of Renewable Energy and it is targeted towards the exploitation of sea waves for the production of electricity to be injected into the power grid. To allow the grid connection of Wave Energy Converters it is necessary that the delivered power is conveniently smoothed and satisfies strict Grid Codes requirements. This is a critical point for very inte ...

Initial Training Network for Wave Energy Research Professionals (WAVETRAIN 2)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

"The proposed action builds strongly up on the logics of its predecessor with the same name. The overall objective is to create a pool of specialised wave energy research professionals to support an emerging industry in a field with a very strong anticipated growth and no dedicated existing training curriculum. Although most jobs can be done being a trained engineer in one of the adjacent fields, ...

Components for Ocean Renewable Energy Systems (CORES)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

"Wave Energy Convertors are at an early stage of development. First generation devices have been deployed at the shoreline and normally consist of Oscillating Water Column Systems. In order for these systems to progress towards full commercial realisation they must develop into suited to mass production. This project follows the successful FP6 funding round in which several fixed Oscillating Wate ...

Equitable Testing and Evaluation of Marine Energy Extraction Devices in terms of Performance, Cost and Environmental Impact (EquiMar)

Start date: Apr 15, 2008, End date: Apr 14, 2011,

EquiMar will deliver a suite of protocols for the equitable evaluation of marine energy converters (based on either tidal or wave energy). These protocols will harmonise testing and evaluation procedures across the wide variety of devices presently available with the aim of accelerating adoption though technology matching and improved understanding of the environmental and economic impacts associa ...
