Developing advanced design tools for Ocean Energy Systems
➢Fit to respond to the electricity demand during night-time

Motivation
However, the ocean energy sector still faces some intrinsic challenges:
➢Still low in maturity
➢Complex design process
➢Exposed to very harsh environments
➢Costs above grid-parity.

DTOceanPlus, an ambitious project
• An ambitious project to accelerate the commercialization in the
ocean energy sector
• A 3-year H2020 EU project (May 2018 - April 2021) with a total
budget of 8 million euros.
• An advanced open source set of design tools for the selection,
development and deployment of ocean energy systems.
• In the continuity of DTOcean which produced a first generation of
freely available, open-source design tools for wave and tidal energy
arrays.

Objectives
• To support the entire technology innovation process, from concept todeployment.
• To develop a decision-support software that will be a professional user-friendly product for different types of users: technology developers,project developers, and investors/policy makers
• To propose advanced design tools for ocean energy sub-systems,devices and arrays.
• To make it freely available to the entire ocean energy sector.
• To bring the tools to TRL6 by demonstration scenarios in real worldcases.
• Designing ocean energy systems is a complex and intertwined process
• Our goal is to make it simpler.
• Within 5 years of completing the project, it’s expected that the results will contribute to:
➢ Achieve a significant increase in the number of ocean energy technologies successfully brought to market
➢ Significantly reduce operating and maintenance (O&M) and installation costs.
➢ Improve performance uncertainty in 40%, which according to Carbon Trust studies would allow up to 6% and 8% reduction in Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for wave and tidal respectively.
