"Components for ocean renewable energy systems" - CORES

 

 

 

Funding Year:              2007

Funding Scheme:        Small-to-medium scale collaborative project

Project Duration:         36 months

Total Project Value:     €4.5m

EU Grant-Aid:               €3.5m

Grant-Aid to Ireland:    €1,251,966

Lead Partner:              University College Cork (Ireland)

Irish Partner(s):    

  • University of Limerick;
  • Ocean Energy Ltd.;
  • Marine Computation Services Ltd.

 

Project Summary

CORES will develop new concepts and components for power take-off, control, moorings, risers, data acquisition and instrumentation based on floating Oscillating Water Column (OWC) systems.  The project brings together a mix of RTD performers and SMEs and device developers (as associated partners) to reduce the technical and non-technical risk in the marine environment and the cost per kWh or generated energy. 

The new components and concepts will be tested on a floating OWC test platform at sea and these real validated and verified results will be integrated into a holistic system model  The model will provide a toolbox for wave-to-wire simulations of complete Wave Energy Converter systems.
