Development and demonstration of critical components for monitoring, control and electrical connection for reliable Ocean Energy Arrays (OEAs)

RECODE项目与项目合作伙伴Tecnalia，Zunibal，Ditrel，WavEC，Smartbay和Cluster合作，旨在通过开发一套专门为可靠和可持续提供海洋能源而设计的行业支持成本效益组件来应对确定海洋能源技术中常见组件的挑战。这些组成部分包括安全监测和控制装置、波浪测量浮标、脐带缆监测装置和用于浮动能量转换器的水下装置-电缆连接器，海洋能源技术正在从实验室规模的模型稳步发展到真实的规模的原型和转换器阵列。提供可靠且具有成本效益的技术对于欧洲海洋能源行业的最终商业成功至关重要，因此，确定通用组件将有助于通过降低资本支出和运营支出以及增加批量制造来降低成本。

The RECODE project, in collaboration with project partners Tecnalia,Zunibal, Ditrel, WavEC, Smartbay and Cluster, aims to answer the challenge of identifying common components in ocean energy technologies by developing a set of industry-enabling cost effective components, specifically designed for reliable and sustainable delivery of ocean energy. These components comprise a safety monitoring and control device, a wave measurement buoy, an umbilical cable monitoring device and an underwater device-to-cable connector for a floating energy converter.Ocean energy technologies are moving steadily from laboratory scale models to real scale prototypes and arrays of converters. Delivering reliable and cost-effective technologies will be paramount to the ultimate commercial success of Europe’s ocean energy industry and therefore identifying common components will help reduce costs by driving down both CAPEX and OPEX, and ramping up volume manufacturing.
