HENRY JEFFREY University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom OES Chairperson A warm welcome to the 2018 OES Annual Report and I trust that you will find it informative and useful. I must start this year’s Annual Report with the sad news of the passing of OES former chairman John Huckerby. John Huckerby was nominated the New Zealand’s representative to the OES Executive Committee by the New Zealand Government in 2008. John served as Chair of the OES over 4 years (2009 – 2012). During his mandate John submitted a new 5-year Strategic Plan to the IEA to secure a third 5-year mandate. John not only was responsible for producing a new 5-year Strategic Plan but it overhauled the OES ´brand´, by updating its name, its logo and, its website. John had a strong commitment to make OES “the authoritative voice on ocean energy”. During his chairmanship he introduced a high sense of rigor in the OES activities and always guided the Executive Committee meetings in a very diplomatic and motivational way. He spread the OES all over the world, engaging with other international organizations and conferences promoting ocean energy internationally and will be fondly remembered by many people around the world. For the content of this year’s report, I would like to thank all the member countries for their contributions. The country reports included here convey that 2018 has seen significant progress internationally for ocean energy. Several tidal projects achieved extensive operating hours with multi- GWhs of generation being clocked up globally. Wave energy technology has progressed with a number of large-scale laboratory and offshore tests having been successfully undertaken. Our 2018 feature article is an interview with Jonathan Hodges, Senior Innovation Engineer, of Wave Energy Scotland and Lauren Moraski of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office. Together, they have been leading international collaboration on the development of Stage Gate Metrics for Ocean Energy that will provide a robust and common approach to managing innovation. A further featured article is on the successful ICOE 2018 conference hosted in Cherbourg, France by Amandine Volard, ICOE Conference Manager, including a message from the Linda Church Ciocci, Chair of the ICOE 2020 to be hosted in Washington D.C. Many key achievements for wave and tidal projects are discussed throughout this report with some of my personal highlights below. The US DoE announced funding of $25m to support 12 next-generation marine energy technologies as well as enabling projects. In the UK, Orbital Marine Power concluded testing of their 2MW turbine and successfully raised £7m from 2,300 individual investors for a next generation device. Wave Energy ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Scotland selected 2 devices to go forward to real- sea testing in 2020 with funding of £7.7m. In Europe there was further consolidation around three-bladed horizontal axis tidal turbines with vacant opportunities in France and beyond being actively pursued by other The country reports developers. In the southern hemisphere Australia is re-engaging with wave energy following the opening of included here convey that Albany test site, led by Carnegie Clean Energy. 2018 has seen significant At a policy level ocean energy progresses within a global energy market that is seeing significant change.

The results were verified by diver and pedestrian visual surveys. Models of Holocene sea-level change allowed a group of possibly Late Mesolithic–Early Neolithic weirs to be recognized, with a second group broadly dated to the later Neolithic–Early Bronze Age.

The performance of numerical models in conditions with strong currents is reviewed here, and observed strong effects of opposed currents and modulations of wave heights by tidal currents in several typical situations are interpreted. For current variations on small scales, the rapid steepening of the waves enhances wave breaking. Using different parameterizations with a dissipation rate proportional to some measure of the wave steepness to the fourth power, the results are very different, none being fully satisfactory, which points to the need for more measurements and further re- finements of parameterizations. For larger-scale current variations, the observed modifications of the sea state are mostly explained by refraction of waves over currents and relative wind effects, that is, the wind speed relevant for wave generation is the speed in the frame of reference moving with the near-surface current.

  • Ice Report T1.4: a Community Specific Assessment of Local Energy
    ICE REPORT T1.4: A COMMUNITY SPECIFIC ASSESSMENT OF LOCAL ENERGY 13/03/2018 1 Deliverable T1.4: A Community Specific Assessment of Local Energy Jon Hardwick, Siming Zheng, Helen C.M. Smith, Oscar Fitch-Roy, Jonathan Williams, Peter M. Connor, Senthilarasu Sundaram, Gregorio Iglesias. About ICE Supported by Interreg VA France (Channel) England, the Intelligent Community Energy (ICE) project aims to design and implement innovative smart energy solutions for isolated territories in the Channel area. Islands and isolated communities face unique energy challenges. Many islands have no connection to wider electricity distribution systems and are dependent on imported energy supplies, typically fossil fuel driven. The energy systems that isolated communities depend on tend to be less reliable, more expensive and have more associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than mainland grid systems. In response to these problems, the ICE project considers the entire energy cycle, from production to consumption, and integrates new and established technologies in order to deliver innovative energy system solutions. These solutions will be implemented and tested at our unique pilot demonstration sites (Ushant island and the University of East Anglia’s campus), to demonstrate their feasibility and to develop a general model for isolated smart energy systems elsewhere. The ICE consortium brings together researcher and business support organisations in France and the UK, and engagement with SMEs will support project rollout and promote European cooperation. 3 Executive summary This report builds on the output generated in ICE reports T1.1.1 and T1.1.2 to assess the current generation and demand characteristics for the two target sites: the island of Ushant off Northwest France and the University of East Anglia campus in Norfolk, England.
