“…The figure shows frontal and top views of the device, where some of its components and parts are indicated. The proposed device is formed by a chamber (1); a substructure system (2) to link the device to the seabed (i.e., usually the substructure system will be shared with a wind turbine); a ballast tank (3), defined as part of the hull of the chamber between the inner (7) and external walls of the chamber; a skirt (4) or extension at the bottom of the chamber; one or more air turbines (5), which act as the OWC power take-off, driving the electric generator to produce electricity; a security and control system including pressure relief valves (6); and a set of bulkheads (8) that provide structural strength and divide the internal part of the chamber into separate segments (9). Note that the numbers shown in brackets refer to those in the figure.…”

“…In this context, multipurpose platforms have been suggested as a sustainable means of exploitation of certain maritime resources, which are usually in the same area [8][9][10][11]-e.g., marine renewable energies (MREs), food resources (fisheries and aquaculture), maritime transport and leisure, among others. On the basis of the strong synergies between offshore wind and wave energy [12][13][14], hybrid wind-wave systems have been proposed as one of the most promising types of multipurpose platforms [15].…”

A Novel Hybrid Wind-Wave Energy Converter for Jacket-Frame Substructures

Abstract:The growth of the offshore wind industry in the last couple of decades has made this technology a key player in the maritime sector. The sustainable development of the offshore wind sector is crucial for this to consolidate within a global scenario of climate change and increasing threats to the marine environment. In this context, multipurpose platforms have been proposed as a sustainable approach to harnessing different marine resources and combining their use under the same platform. Hybrid wind-wave systems are a type of multipurpose platform where a single platform combines the exploitation of offshore wind and wave energy. In particular, this paper deals with a novel hybrid wind-wave system that integrates an oscillating water column wave energy converter with an offshore wind turbine on a jacket-frame substructure. The main objective of this paper is to characterise the hydrodynamic response of the WEC sub-system of this hybrid energy converter. A 1:50 scale model was tested under regular and irregular waves to characterise the hydrodynamic response of the WEC sub-system. The results from this analysis lead to the proof of concept of this novel hybrid system; but additionally, to characterising its behaviour and interaction with the wave field, which is a requirement for fully understanding the benefits of hybrid systems.

“…The study focuses on Northern Ireland's waters and suggests that understanding how the individual sectors are affected, facilitates the identification of the potential conflicts and contributes to mitigation strategies. It is suggested that optimal locations for MRE should depend on collocation opportunities and that a "multi-industry ocean-zoning" within the framework of strategic conservation planning is required; see also [288], where a framework for specifying alternative points of view (such as technical, environmental, socio-economic, and legal factors) as regards MUPs is applied. One of the study areas in the latter work is the MS.…”

Marine Renewable Energy in the Mediterranean Sea: Status and Perspectives

Abstract:In this work, an extended overview of the marine renewable energy in the Mediterranean Sea is provided as regards current status, potential problems, challenges, and perspectives of development. An integrated and holistic approach is necessary for the economic viability and sustainability of marine renewable energy projects; this approach comprises three different frameworks, not always aligned, i.e., geotechnical/engineering, socio-economic, and environmental/ ecological frameworks. In this context, the geomorphological, climatological, socio-economic, and environmental/ecological particularities of the Mediterranean basin are discussed, as they constitute key issues of the spatial context in which marine renewable energy projects are to be implemented. General guidelines for the sustainable development of marine renewable energy in the Mediterranean are also provided.Keywords: marine renewable energy; ocean energy; offshore wind energy; marine spatial planning; Mediterranean Sea; roadmap for marine energy development Key TopicsThe main topics that this paper deals with, can be summarized as follows: •Global status of the different types of marine renewable energy (MRE), i.e., offshore wind, wave, tidal, thermal, and salinity gradients energy conversion:

Wageningen, Wageningen Economic Research, Report 2018-013. 76 pp.; 20 fig.; 3 tab.; 60 ref. Increasingly, urban stakeholders are becoming more engaged in contributing to reducing the intensified flooding risks due to climate change in Belgium, the UK and the Netherlands. The aim of this study is to motivate stakeholder engagement for urban flood management. A template is provided including a total of four steps defining stakeholder positions, task roles and barriers, and showing how to deal with the barriers by suggesting communication levels, strategies and approaches. Overall, green solutions to drainage are thought to be favourable to quality of life, recreation, playground, air quality, health, heat stress, and depending on levels of inclusiveness, green can also contribute to social cohesion.

While climate mitigation would be a favourable way of dealing with climate change, mitigating climate change is not achievable, at least not in the short term. Societies need to adapt to climate change, to make sure the increased flooding will not destroy lives, buildings and infrastructure in cities. The effect of investing in flood management immediately can result in avoidance of future disasters.It has been a pleasure to work with SPONGE partners, who want to contribute through the project to improve flood management in cities in the future. Stakeholder contributions can make a change to enhance flood management.Special thanks go to the SPONGE colleagues Wessel Tiessens (Netherlands), Milaila Bentz (UK) andRonny van Looveren (Belgium), with whom we met several times to discuss the contents of the report and contributions to the SPONGE project.We would also like to thank interviewees in Belgium, the UK and the Netherlands for contributing with valuable insights. Their narratives were critically important to the storyline of this report.Prof.dr.ir. J.G.A.J. (Jack) van der Vorst Summary S.1 A template for motivating stakeholder engagementThe aim of this study is to motivate stakeholder engagement for urban flood management. In order to identify stakeholder contributions and barriers to conduct climate adaptations in the forms of flood management in cities in Belgium, the UK and the Netherlands, a template is designed in this study following four main steps needed for enhancing stakeholder contributions. The four steps define 1) stakeholder positions, 2) task roles, 3) barriers, and 4) how to deal with these barriers by suggesting communication levels, strategies and approaches, w...
