The South West UK has been named a UK Marine Energy Park and is a hub for the development of marine renewable energy (MRE). In particular, the region has developed considerable facilities for testing devices to convert energy, and their components. As technology developers strive to progress their products to be commercially viable, these facilities are seeing unprecedented interest from the industry and the Wave Hub is one such facility. Situated in Cornwall, UK, this site offers developers an opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of their technology to secure commercial interest. As such, verifying key processes is the principal aim for site-users; i. Energy extraction and device performance ii. Planning and execution of marine operationsiii. Reliability predictions to inform service schedules during device operationiv. Environmental impacts.For these assessments, the more detailed information about the conditions the devices are experiencing and device response, the more confidence technology developers can have in their results. Through NERC research, data resources and expertise have built up in the academic community that have the capability to optimise the interpretation of oceanographic data for MRE applications, informing key processes identified above. Accessible tools to apply these methods and bring together data sets established through research will ease the access to essential information to refine their design and operating principles. Critically, it will also reduce uncertainty in estimating the true cost of energy conversion with this technology, generating more confidence in potential investors.This project proposes to bring together unique data sets and leading research methodologies developed through NERC science into a novel method to provide unprecedented level of detail for the assessment of physical conditions at an operational site. NERC research has developed methods for highly detailed analysis of the physical environment and shown the benefit of using methods developed specifically for marine renewable energy. By developing accessible tools to combine these research methods and regional data, the project aims to unlock the potential benefits for the benefit of technology companies using the site. Critical analysis of the process and the results will be used to verify the application of these tools to a practical situation. Results here will be used to refine and develop the methods used, aiming to develop useful, practical tools to be incorporated into the long term development of the industry.In order to achieve the aim the project has been arranged into three work packages (WP). WP1 is addressing the implementation of existing tools developed by UofE for validation of site data and to the assessment and characterisation of the environmental conditions at the Wave Hub site; WP2 will focus on the development of innovative algorithms that will incorporate methodologies developed through NERC research to the interpretation of oceanographic data; and WP3 will initiate the development of validation methods for the oceanographic interpretation algorithms, working towards their adoption into the development of standards to enhance MRE commercialisation.This project is also aimed at developing the relationship between academia and industry. The Wave Hub represent an excellent conduit to the marine renewable energy industry and the project will embed knowledge, data and experience in this organisation. Finally, the project will lay a foundation for the long term exchange of academic knowledge to the marine renewable energy industry, allowing this nascent industry to continue to benefit from NERC funded research activities.

英国西南部已被命名为英国海洋能源公园，是海洋可再生能源（MRE）发展的中心。特别是，该区域已发展了相当多的设施，用于测试转换能源的装置及其组成部分。随着技术开发人员努力使他们的产品具有商业可行性，这些设施受到了业界前所未有的兴趣，Wave Hub就是其中之一。该网站位于英国康沃尔郡，为开发人员提供了展示其技术能力以确保商业利益的机会。因此，验证关键过程是网站用户的主要目标；1 .能量提取及设备性能策划及执行海上作业ii。在设备运行期间进行可靠性预测以通知服务计划。环境影响。对于这些评估，关于设备所经历的条件和设备响应的信息越详细，技术开发人员对他们的结果就越有信心。通过NERC的研究，数据资源和专业知识已经在学术界建立起来，有能力为MRE应用优化海洋数据的解释，为上述关键过程提供信息。应用这些方法和汇集通过研究建立的数据集的无障碍工具将有助于获取基本信息，以改进其设计和操作原则。至关重要的是，它还将减少使用该技术估算能源转换真实成本的不确定性，从而增强潜在投资者的信心。该项目建议将独特的数据集和通过NERC科学开发的领先研究方法结合起来，形成一种新方法，为作业现场的物理条件评估提供前所未有的详细信息。NERC的研究开发了对物理环境进行非常详细分析的方法，并显示了使用专门为海洋可再生能源开发的方法的好处。通过开发可访问的工具来结合这些研究方法和区域数据，该项目旨在为使用该网站的技术公司释放潜在的利益。对过程和结果的批判性分析将用于验证这些工具在实际情况中的应用。这里的结果将用于改进和发展所使用的方法，旨在开发有用的、实用的工具，以纳入该行业的长期发展。为了实现这一目标，该项目被安排为三个工作包（WP）。工作第一阶段的工作是落实由海洋环境规划署开发的现有工具，以验证现场数据，并评估和描述波浪枢纽现场的环境状况；WP2将侧重于开发创新算法，将通过NERC研究开发的方法纳入海洋学数据的解释；WP3将着手开发海洋学解释算法的验证方法，努力将其纳入标准的制定，以加强MRE的商业化。该项目还旨在发展学术界与工业界之间的关系。Wave Hub代表了海洋可再生能源产业的一个优秀渠道，该项目将在该组织中嵌入知识、数据和经验。最后，该项目将为海洋可再生能源产业的长期学术知识交流奠定基础，使这一新兴产业继续受益于NERC资助的研究活动。
