This report highlights the economic potential of wave energy to Scotland and the UK, through local deployments and global exports, culminating with policy recommendations to achieve this.
A technoeconomic study looking at wind and wave sharing opportunities, including wider benefits and socio-economic considerations.
This study identified and analysed potential alternative generation technologies for use in wave energy that may provide an opportunity for a step change reduction in the delivered cost of energy.
This report describes a study into the potential of very large scale (10MW+) Wave Energy Converters (WECs), which aims to quantify opportunities and provide recommendations for a future approach.
This study gives an overview of the current landscape while exploring the potential of mooring and foundation innovations to make an impact on reducing the cost of energy for wave energy converters.
An investigation into wave farm electrical connection infrastructure that aims to identify cost reduction opportunities specific to the electrical connection infrastructure that will improve LCOE.
Exploration of WEC control requirements in both generalised and control-centric terms so as to encourage engagement with the wider control engineering community.
An assessment on the technological challenges facing the wave energy sector and of the cross-sector potential for technology transfer with large potential for improvement in WEC subsystems.
Guidance on the application of existing methods and standards relevant to the design and analysis of WEC devices.
Exploration of the use of materials, coatings and structures in the wider engineering and industrial sectors that may be relevant to the progression of wave energy technology.
