Supergen ORE hub 2018

Lead Research Organisation: University of Plymouth

Department Name: Sch of Engineering

Abstract

The UK is at the forefront of the development, adoption and export of Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) technologies: offshore wind (OW), wave and tidal energy. To sustain this advantage, the UK must spearhead research and innovation in ORE, which will accelerate its adoption and widen the applicability of these technologies. Many organisations across the industry-academia spectrum contribute to ORE research and development (R&D) co-ordination and the ORE Supergen hub strategy will take a leadership role, integrating with these activities to guide and deliver fundamental research to advance the ORE sector.

The role of the Supergen ORE hub is to provide research leadership for the ORE community to enable transformation to future scale ORE. The hub will articulate the vision for the future scale ORE energy landscape, will identify the innovations required and the fundamental research needed to underpin the innovation. It will also generate the pathway for translation of research and innovation into industry practice, for policy adaptation and public awareness in order to support the increased deployment of ORE technologies, reducing energy costs while increasing energy security, reducing CO2 emissions and supporting UK jobs. The hub will work closely with the ORE Catapult (ORECAT) and become well-connected with industry, government, the wider research community in the UK and internationally. It will bring together these groups to assemble the expertise and experience to define and target the innovations, research and actions to achieve the ambitious energy transformation envisioned for the UK.

The new Supergen ORE hub will continue to support and build on the existing internationally leading academic capacity within these three research areas (OW, wave and tidal technology), whilst also enabling shared learning on common research challenges. The ORE hub will build a multi-disciplinary, collaborative approach, which will bring benefits through the sharing of best practice and exploitation of synergy, support equality and diversity and the development of the next generation of research leaders.

The hub strategy provides an overview of research and innovation priorities, which will be addressed through multiple routes but linked through the hub, with activities designed to stimulate alignment across the research community and industry sectors to maximise engagement with prioritised research challenges through and beyond the hub time-scale. These include:

1. Networking and engagement activities to bring the research community together with industry and other stakeholders to ensure research efforts within the community are aligned, complementary and remain inspired by or relevant to industry challenges. This will include support and development of the ECR community to ensure sustainability and promote EDI within the sector as a whole. Actions will also be taken to identify potential cross over research synergies and opportunities for transfer of research between sectors and disciplines, both within and external to ORE. Furthermore, a structured communication plan built around progress of the community towards the sector research challenges will promote exploitation and commercialisation.

2. A set of core research work packages addressing priority topics selected and structured to maximize progress towards the sector objectives and building on the cross cutting expertise of the co-director team.

3. Targeted use of flexible fund as seed-corn activity leading to projects aligned with, and in partnership with, the hub.

Planned Impact

The UK is a global leader in ORE research and deployment and the rapid global growth of the sector provides substantial opportunities to expand the UK benefit. The research programme of the Supergen ORE hub, its management structure and the pathways to impact will help maximise these potential benefits.

Industry and Investors

The structure of the ORE industry base reflects the differing stages of development in OW, wave and tidal energy with wave and tidal being dominated by UK SMEs while the OW industry is dominated by large OEMs and developers, most of which are based outside of the UK. OW, wave and tidal will benefit directly from the Supergen hub research and indirectly from the conduit the hub will provide to the wider ORE research network. Wave and tidal companies will benefit from the Supergen hub research through improved understanding of the operating environment, better modelling and design methods, innovative solutions and a clearer picture of the potential benefits of the technology, thus reducing risk. In the case of OW, in addition to the benefits above, there is an opportunity to increase the UK content (both CAPEX and OPEX) of deployments in our coastal waters and also to prove and establish technologies and services that can form the basis for global export businesses in a sector which is expected to see exponential growth for several decades to come. The focus of the hub research on large scale and floating structures will underpin industry opportunities for both UK and international deployments.

The industry will benefit through direct involvement in research projects but also through access to models, data and standards developed and disseminated through the hub and the wider ORE network for which the hub will act as a focal point. It will also benefit from the development of a pool of talent with the knowledge, experience and academic/industry networks able to support this rapidly growing sector. Through implementation of the ECR, EDI and communications plans we will seek to ensure that a pipeline of talent is available to the industry which is better skills trained and has greater diversity than is currently available.

Government and policy makers

The research programme will provide improved understanding of the potential contribution of ORE technologies to the energy mix and of the environmental and GVA impacts resulting. This will enable policy makers to have increased confidence in planning and decision making, ensure suitable regulatory frameworks are in place and identify priorities for support.

The communications plan will help increase the level of understanding of ORE among the general public, helping ensure greater support for governmental policies.

Public

Increased deployment of appropriate ORE technologies will help to deliver on national and international energy and climate change objectives, and ensure security of energy supply at an acceptable cost with known and managed environmental impacts. The increase in high value employment opportunities will positively impact on the UK in general and particularly in coastal communities.

The ORE hub management structure has strong involvement of end users and other stakeholders to create the necessary two-way lines of communication and influence and to ensure that the research remains relevant and has a clear pathway to implementation in practice. The Supergen ORE hub will work closely with the ORE Catapult (ORECAT) and Carbon Trust, and will collaborate on joint research programmes and workshops and in support of the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub (OWIH).

The hub will extend its influence through its international strategy, building strategic partnerships and opportunities with global reach, and Cross Hub Activities, identifying opportunities to support research at the interfaces between the remits of individual hubs and to convene joint research and engagement.

Description	Research challenges and themes consistently updated consultation with academic and industry community in ORE. The research landscape has been used to promote and raise awareness of ORE research and also to frame and prioritise the Flexible funding and ECR research funding calls. 3 Flexible Funding calls released, with total of 284 applications. 30 awarded at c£3m, bringing together Cross-ORE research, in fields as diverse as: "Novel Approaches for Physical Model Testing of Floating Wind Turbine Platforms", "Autonomous Biomimetic Robot-fish for Offshore Wind Farm Inspection" and "Smart piezoelectric metamaterials for partial discharge monitoring" All projects have shared research findings and opportunities with the wider ORE Community through numerous mediums, including events, videos, presentations and the Supergen ORE Hub website. 3 Flexible Funding calls have led to £2.9m of industry match. Since 2019 SOH has leveraged c£83.3m through in-kind contributions, follow on projects through SOH partners, fellowships for ECRs supported through our network, Flexible Funding additional investment and SOH input, consultation, influence or introduction. Responded to UK Gov't consultation on proposed amendments to Supply Chain Plans and Contracts for Difference Delivery, in consultation with OREC, MEW, MEC and other industry stakeholders, also the Government consultation on proposed amendments to Supply Chain Plans and CfD Delivery (2022) in addition to responding to the "BEIS Marine energy consultation - A call for evidence on the potential of marine energy projects in Great Britain" alongside the Marine Energy Council, resulting in subsequent reform of the CfD allocations with a c£20m de minimus limit being introduced for Tidal Energy projects. Within the Supergen programme, the development and dissemination of a series of five policy guidance reports, titled 'The Ocean Energy Policymakers Toolkit' has been achieved by the University of Edinburgh. These policy guidance reports are designed to inform and guide prospective policymakers and researchers on the research challenges and opportunities facing the ocean energy sector, how they can be overcome to increase overall deployment and the associated costs of doing so. These reports utilised a combination of future evidence-based scenarios, quantitative analysis of existing data, collaboration with industry and government policymakers and future scenario analysis, to outline how the ocean energy sector can grow to become an indispensable feature of a future UK energy mix. This report series gained extensive exposure and coverage, being presented at Westminster roundtables, to visiting MPs and MSPs and featured in newspaper articles. Cable modelling / testing work by the University of Exeter has enabled the detailed numerical 2D &3D analysis of submarine power cables and extensive experimental testing. Key findings include the demonstrated feasibility of novel NDT monitoring (e.g. Spread-spectrum time-domain reflectometry (SSTDR) as well as non-linear and load dependent effects of cable stiffness. The findings enable a more accurate cable modelling and improved cable design. Development by the University of Warwick of the first digital twin for wind farm flow system by fusing data with physics, which can predict the in situ spatiotemporal wind field covering the entire wind farm. The design enables the seamless integration of Lidar measurements and turbine operating data for real-time flow characterization, and the fusion of flow physics for retrieving unmeasured wind field information. It thus addresses the limitations of existing wind prediction approaches based on supervised machine learning, which cannot achieve such prediction because the training targets are not available. Other key findings include: - Work on the hydroelastic numerical modelling and experimental testing of rigid and hinged very large floating structures (VLFS) was carried out by the University of Strathclyde. Specifically, the application of open-source hydrodynamic solvers and the expansion of the numerical model to predict displacements and structural loading were implemented. An open-source data repository (10.5281/zenodo.10067450) was uploaded, and is now available, containing the data of the first regular waves testing campaign of the VLFS conducted at the Kelvin Hydrodynamics laboratory at the University of Strathclyde. Furthermore, a new and extensive testing campaign was carried out at the Coast Lab at the University of Plymouth, where the VLFS prototype was tested subject to oblique loading and irregular sea states to understand the influence of extreme wave loading on VLFS. Lastly, the numerical model was coupled to a structural optimisation algorithm to optimise the weight of the VLFS cross section. - University of Hull developed approaches to enable improved monitoring of ORE systems including loads, performance and damage. In particular developing methods to increase the number of measurement points in fibre optic sensing systems for large structures such as wind/tidal turbine blades and dynamic cables and establishing approaches to increase the robustness of sensing systems to damage. - University of Manchester has advanced numerical models for synthesizing the unsteady flow at tidal stream sites and interaction with turbines and wakes to define turbine fatigue loading. This has included high-fidelity LES CFD analysis of the influence of depth of immersion (Ouro et al. IMEJ 2022), seabed bathymetry (Hurubi et al. 2023, Ouro et al. 2023), and surface waves (Stallard et al. EWTEC 2023) on turbine wakes and the onset flows to downstream turbines. Earlier work to characterise turbulent channel onset flows (Ahmed et al. 2021) by high-fidelity CFD was awarded the IAHR Harold Jan Schoemaker Award 2023. Methods for prediction of turbine design loads have been further developed. For steady loading cases work at the University of Manchester focused on inter-comparison of blade element momentum theory models and actuator line models in RANS and LES CFD with the experimental data obtained from the ORE Hub 1.6 m diameter reference tidal stream turbine. These models were compared with blind-studies run by multiple groups globally establishing confidence in different model classes and key areas for development, and reported in EWTEC 2021 and EWTEC 2023 conference papers. Actuator methods have also been further developed to capture turbulence production during turbine operation (Kang et al. 2023). CFD tools for unsteady load prediction, particularly fatigue load prediction, have been developed for complex combinations of shear, turbulence, waves and wakes. Building on earlier evaluation of turbulence production and wake extent of tidal stream farms and to inform both engineering design and wide-area ecological modelling analysis of wind farm wake extent has been undertaken. Detailed investigation of wind farm parameterisations using the atmospheric flow model Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) for a group of operational wind farms (Ali et al. 2023) has highlighted the scale of wind farm wakes expected, quantified the impact on power performance and demonstrated the importance of appropriate parameterisation of turbulence production as well as momentum extraction. - An ecosystem-based natural capital evaluation framework has been developed by the University of Aberdeen that builds on a dynamic Bayesian modelling approach (Trifonova et al., 2021) which accounts for the multiplicity of interactions between physical, biological indicators and anthropogenic marine use (i.e., fishing, OWF). In WP1 the framework was shown to have the potential of exploring the likely outcomes, across different metrics: both ecological (e.g., stock biomass) and socio-economic (e.g., gross value added, GVA), from alternative management and climate scenarios, such that objective judgements and decisions can be made, as to how to balance the benefits and trade-offs between a range of marine uses to deliver long-term environmental sustainability, economic benefits, and social welfare (Trifonova et al., 2022a, Trifonova et al. 2022b). The developed ecosystem-level natural capital evaluation framework is part of a suggested new strategic tool to structure Cumulative Impact Assessment (CIA) (Declerck et al., 2021) and provides a multi-dimensional decision-making toolkit that provides more efficient SEAs (Strategic Environmental Assessment) (Declerck et al., 2023). - University of Oxford geotechnical research has focused on soil-structure interaction problems for pile foundations exploring both monotonic loading and cyclic loading, for axial and lateral loading. The work has involved computational and theoretical activities as well as field-scale testing. A new approach for modelling of axial pile loading, called the hybrid winkler interface model, has been developed, in which the far-field response is represented by springs, and the interface behaviour through a bespoke calibrated constitutive model. The new approach closely replicates experimental results covering both monotonic and cyclic axial loading of model piles, following initial calibration against standard laboratory element tests. A second focus of work related to the extension of the ALPACA pile testing in chalk, with an emphasis on monotonic and cyclic lateral loading. New data was derived through the testing, which identified the pile monotonic behaviour as a function of the pile slenderness, and which could be interpreted through recent theories developed in the "PISA" project. The cyclic loading data provided evidence of the accumulation of deformation as a function of cycle number, and load amplitude, and which could be captured by a recently established simple empirical model. Gapping was found to have a significant effect on the pile lateral-loading response. - Reliable prediction of the critical loads and extreme performance of ORE structures is of fundamental importance at the design stage. In work by the University of Plymouth, short design wave (SDW) methods for characteristic load prediction in line with design standards has been developed and tested on a range of floating devices. Analysis of physical modelling data for a hinged-raft showed that the single SDW approaches under-estimate the extreme loading for the hinge-angle and mooring system compared with the irregular and constrained approaches. The discrepancy between single and constrained waves implies that memory effects are non-negligible, and hence it is critical that they are accounted for when utilising short design waves for floating applications. This analysis is published in Frontiers in Energy Research. - An EPSRC Impact Accelerator Award at the University of Plymouth, conducted in collaboration with DNV GL, assessed the applicability of the SDW methods to a wider range of device, response, and mooring types to help develop new design recommendations. This work considered both publicly available device descriptions and commercially sensitive devices. The latter are provided by the Carbon Trust and are devices developed through the Floating Wind Joint Industry Programme. Short design events (comprising both wind and wave) methods based on MLER were developed, with the constrained approach showing promise with respect to traditional methods. Analysis of the previously collected physical modelling data for FOWTs showed that the (constrained) SDW results were largely within 10% of traditional methods for the two sea states considered. An acceptable accuracy is currently uncertain, partly because the data also showed that traditional methods can be sensitive to random seeding. Further work will be conducted to understand the extent of this sensitivity, to provide a better benchmark for SDW accuracy, and determine which stages of the design process they would be most suitable for. This analysis has been published in Ocean Engineering. Further physical modelling data has been collected for the FOWT model at a different (shallower) deployment site. This includes a modified mooring system for comparison with existing data. - Subsea cable stability design has traditionally been based on oil and gas pipeline experience. However, the physics of cable-seabed interaction are very different, due to the smaller diameter and higher flexibility of cables. University of Southampton research revealed a new understanding of cable-seabed interaction through laboratory, numerical and field observational analysis and modelling. The research unlocked new design methods that stripped out significant design conservatism, by identifying higher seabed friction and lower hydrodynamic loading. The improved design basis allows a reduction in cable weight, leading to benefits in material, fabrication and installation requirements. The research outcomes have already been applied to offshore renewable energy developments throughout the world, including the UK's MeyGen tidal stream energy project, and are being incorporated into new design guidance, including the draft British Standards Institute BS 10009 being developed under PEL 114 technical committee guidance. In addition, to support floating offshore renewables, University of Southampton research has focused on unlocking additional sources of anchor capacity linked to aspects of seabed behaviour that are currently not accounted for in design. Theoretical and numerical modelling of anchor behaviour, inspired by observations from model testing, has led to new 'whole-life', time-dependent capacity models for anchor behaviour which reveal significant sources of 'hidden' strength, linked to time-dependent consolidation and added mass effects. These can potentially yield a doubling of the available capacity. These research outcomes, achieved in partnership with a leading global geotechnical designer, have been used to support the design of new wind developments in frontier areas where foundation and anchor design is particularly challenging. - The University of Oxford delivered the Tidal Turbine Benchmarking Project. This is a community engagement project which has engaged many engineering teams from 12 participant organisations from 6 different countries to date. The project seeks to validate, quantify uncertainty in and develop best practice in the use of engineering models for the analysis of the hydrodynamic loads experienced by tidal turbines. The project conducting large-scale model experiments on a highly instrumented 1.6m diameter tidal rotor. The turbine was tested in well-defined flow conditions, including wave-generated unsteadiness and grid-generated free-stream turbulence, and was towed through the 12.2m wide, 5.4m deep long towing tank at QinetiQ's Haslar facility. These experiments are unprecedented in their scale and available measurement data. The second stage of the project involved a community wide blind exercise to predict the performance and loads of the turbine. This attracted 26 blind predictions of the turbine's loading in a variety of flow conditions from across the 12 participant organisations. The project has delivered a trusted high-quality data set, that will be used in future model validation, to the quantification of model error for a range of different engineering and research modelling techniques, and to improvements in those techniques and their use that has already led to a significant reduction in modelling uncertainty. The data generated in the Tidal Turbine Benchmarking Project is being made open access to facilitate future model validation and development across the community.
Exploitation Route	Research findings will be used by other researchers and taken up by industry. Communication and dissemination of the research area landscape is being used as a useful tool for policy makers and for the development of new areas of ORE in Floating and Fixed Offshore Wind, wave energy and tidal stream energy.

Description	The Supergen ORE Hub provides research leadership in ORE, with 95 universities engaged across the UK and strong international collaborations. Research themes and research challenge priorities have been collated through the Supergen Leaders Engagement and consultation project and through ongoing consultation with academic and industry partners. These research challenges and themes are being displayed through a new Research Landscape web tool designed for dissemination and promotion of ORE research, successfully unifying the ORE community around common research themes and acting as a trusted communications platform for ORE. For example, BEIS has found the Research Landscape Tool particularly useful in showcasing and explaining research in this area. The Hub is a trusted conduit between the research community, industry and policy makers and a source of quality ORE research. It has a strong Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) with 38 members and Research Alignment Group to reflect against and to keep up with changing ORE community needs. Influencing Policy in Offshore Renewable Energy. For example, with the creation of a Wave Energy Roadmap and through providing responses to BEIS consultations on Contracts for Difference in the ORE Sector, and representing the UK on behalf of BEIS on the International Energy Agency Technology collaboration programme for Ocean Energy Chairing the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) joint programme for ocean energy. The Hub has produced 11 policy briefings, contributed to COP26, 27, 28 and the G7 Summit and has influenced ORE sector policy across UK. Developing Early Career Researchers through the ORE Hub's Early Career Research Network, with dedicated events and training, dedicated research fund and mentoring scheme. Over 200 members in the ECR community and £188,000 invested into 46 projects developing research and skills. Promoting Equality Diversity and Inclusion in the Sector, a children's book aimed at early readers (age 4-6) with over 500 copies distributed and now translated into Welsh; outreach work, such as the 2019 Green Man Festival Einstein's Field Supergen ORE stand in 2019, 21, 22 and 23; 35% Annual Assembly speakers identified as women and EDI surveys across the Supergen programme and the use of a double-blind reviewing process for the flexi fund, with an improved gender split in funding applications (30% female). Collaborating with other Hubs on overarching topics such as energy integration, preparation for COP26 and EDI as well as running cross-hub workshops and funding. For example, Supergen ORE Hub initiated two joint hub workshops with Energy Networks and Energy Storage Network+ in ORE integration and storage in October and November 2020, and in ORE Robotics with the ORCA Hub in January 2021 to scope proposals for further development. Seedcorn funding contributed from each hub was awarded to joint hub proposals to develop cross sectoral research. Working closely with the industry advisory board, the Carbon Trust and the ORE Catapult, finding opportunities to link industry partners with academic projects and signposting expertise to IAB members across the academic community in ORE has led to further collaboration and to industry investment in ORE research. For example, Supergen ORE Hub initiated a workshop with the Carbon Trust industry partners in April 2021 focused on sharing information on research and innovation priorities and identifying collaboration and alignment opportunities; The ORE Catapult contributed resource to the Flexible Fund Round 2 and the ORE Catapult Centre of Excellence for Floating Offshore Wind contributed to the third round of ORE Flexible Funding; Ørsted have invested in strategic environmental research with state-of-the-art design of multi-trophic monitoring campaigns; Key ORE project developers are connected with flex fund projects and working closely with the ORE Hub to scope their research strategy. The Hub Flexible funding £4m invested into 40 projects with strong industry involvement by 74 industry partners bringing £4.3m total industry match.

Title	Rigid and hinged very large floating structure (VLFS) dataset - Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory
Description	This dataset corresponds to the measurements performed at the Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory at the University of Strathclyde, in August 2022, to assess the motion performance and internal loading of a rigid and hinged very large floating structure (VLFS) under regular waves. The VLFS was constructed with three pontoons and two hinges. The hinges were replaced with aluminium steel bars to built the rigid VLFS. The dimensions of each pontoon of the VLFS were 580 mm x 580 mm x 52 mm. Each pontoon was built with 2 mm layer of carbon fibre and a 50 mm layer of PVC foam. The VLFS was tested in regular waves at two incidences: 0 degrees and 30 degrees. For 0 degree incidence, the wave frequencies tested ranged from 0.4 to1.6 Hz in intervals of 0.1 Hz. Four wave heights were tested, h=5, 10, 20 and 40 mm. For 30 degree incidence, the same range of frequencies were tested, but only one wave height, h=5 mm. Preliminary results for some of the data at 0 degrees incidence can be found in the conference paper: https://doi.org/10.36688/ewtec-2023-389. Further analysis of this dataset and additional results are in preparation for a journal manuscript. The following files are included as part of the dataset: Motion files (Matlab files). Strain gauge and wave height files (Matlab files). Data description file - Description of files. Test matrix - Test cases summarised with nomenclature used in files. Matlab script to sort out position of motion spheres as depicted in Figure 1. Video of the hinged VLFS subject to a train of regular waves at f=0.8 Hz, i.e. when the wavelength is of similar length to the length of the platform, i.e. f=0.8 Hz. The motion files contain the time series information recorded for each of the motion detection spheres. Because the motion raw data is not labelled sequentially, it is necessary to run the Matlab file included in the data repository to sort out the information of the spheres. The strain gauge files contain the raw strain gauge data (8 channels) and the wave gauge data with the file number describing the corresponding test in the test matrix. The VLFS was equipped with 36 motion detection spheres and 8 strain gauges. The diagram and notation of each sphere is depicted in Figure 1. Figure 1 is available in the Data description document.

Title	Tidal Benchmarking Project Dataset: R001_2
Description	Harvey, S., Chen, X., Bhavsar, K., Allsop, T., Benson, I., Mullings, H., Stallard, T., Young, A., Gilbert, J., Vogel, C. and Willden, R. (2022) The tidal turbine benchmarking project has conducted a large laboratory scale experiment on a highly instrumented 1.6 diameter tidal rotor, with the aim of providing a well-documented experimental dataset that will be used in a benchmarking exercise that will compare a range of modelling methodologies for tidal turbines. This initial dataset, identified as R001, contains the turbine and blade geometry, the benchmarking test cases and 2D CFD data for the blade hydrofoil profile.

Description	14th European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference - Tidal Benchmarking workshop
Form Of Engagement Activity	Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	International
Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	The Tidal Turbine Benchmarking Project is a community engagement project which seeks to develop best practice in the use of engineering models for the analysis of the hydrodynamic loads experienced by tidal turbines. The Project has been jointly funded by the EPSRC Fellowship grant EP/R007322/1 (Tidal Stream Energy - Designing for Performance) and the EPSRC Supergen ORE Hub EP/S000747/1.The Project seeks to improve engineering models for tidal rotors through highly instrumented controlled experiments, followed by model blind-prediction and evaluation across an international industry and academic community. The rationale for the project is that uncertainty in the prediction of the steady and unsteady loading of tidal turbines, especially in hostile unsteady environments dominated by waves, shear and turbulence, leads to conservatism in design. Uncertainties can stem from difficult-to-measure field conditions, uncertainty in physical process that generate fluid loads, and associated modelling errors. In order to reduce this conservatism, the limitations and errors associated with the mathematical and engineering models used in turbine design must be understood and improved. This requires large-scale experimental data for model assessment and validation. The project has conducting large-scale model experiments on a highly instrumented 1.6m diameter tidal rotor. The turbine is instrumented for the measurement of spanwise distributions of flapwise and edgewise bending moments using one hundred strain gauges and a fibre Bragg optical system, as well as overall rotor torque and thrust. The turbine has been tested in well-defined flow conditions, including wave-generated unsteadiness and grid-generated freestream turbulence, and was towed through the 12.2m wide, 5.4m deep long towing tank at QinetiQ's Haslar facility. These experiments are unprecedented in their scale and available measurement data (Tucker Harvey et al. 2023). The Benchmarking project has not just produced engineering model improvement and related analyses, but has brought the community of engineers and researchers working on tidal turbine loading together. This has been extremely positive and has led to a number of very cooperative and community supporting developments. The project has run around 10 workshops; physical workshops engaging a wide participant base at the EWTEC conferences in Plymouth (2021) and in Bilbao (2023), and virtual workshops engaging with participants in the benchmarking exercise, device developers and engineering consultancies

Results and Impact	Context Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) are one of the fastest engineering developments, driven by increased capabilities in machine learning, artificial intelligence, sensing and remote operating capabilities. There is great potential for the Offshore Renewable Energy sector to reduce both human exposure risk and cost if technologies are suitably tailored and integrated into current and future practices. There are isolated examples (e.g. use of drones for blade inspection; autonomous seabed surveys), but there is large potential for future applications. Current and future research challenges for RAS in the sector span a range of disciplines. The Supergen Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Hub and the ORCA Hub have come together to hold a virtual cross-discipline workshop, bringing together Academics, Researchers, Practitioners and companies to explore the common challenges, synergies and opportunities with a goal to achieving step changes towards fully automated offshore renewable energy field; operated, inspected and maintained from the safety of onshore. More information regarding the Hubs involved can be found at the end of this webpage. The scope of this workshop will examine the gaps that exist within current robotic systems used offshore as well gaps in current research and development that will help realise the full potential of robotics in this environment. The workshop will draw on the full range of expertise and benefit from synergies within the cross-disciplined group of attendees

Results and Impact	The Supergen ORE Hub and ORJIP Ocean Energy invites you to a workshop on Friday 29 January 13:30 - 18:00 GMT to be hosted online alongside the Marine Energy Wales Conference titled "De-risking consenting of tidal arrays - are we nearly there yet?" With key speakers from the Marine Energy Council, Natural Resources Wales, ORJIP Ocean Energy, the Welsh Consenting Strategic Advisory Group, OES Environmental and key tidal energy developers in Wales, this workshop will focus on the key environmental consenting risks that remain within the tidal energy industry and how we can work together to address these risks and streamline the consenting process in Wales. The tidal energy industry is at a highly significant moment in its development after more than 15 years of research and innovation funded by the UK government and industry, with direct involvement of regulators and their advisors, to facilitate device development and testing as well as evidence and tools to facilitate consenting. Nevertheless, the barriers in the UK to moving forward from single devices to viable commercial arrays are forcing industry to seek development sites overseas elsewhere in Europe, Canada and South East Asia and so there is significant pressure to collaborate over resolving the remaining issues to progressing projects in the UK.

Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	A ThinkIn is not another panel discussion. It is a forum for civilised disagreement. Modelled onl a 'leader conference' in the UK (or an editorial board in the US), it is a place where everyone has a seat at the table. It's where we get to hear what you think, drawn from your experience, energy and expertise. It's where, together, we sift through what we know to come to a clear, concise point of view. It is the heart of what we do at Tortoise. This ThinkIn focussed on a debate on good advice for a planet facing accelerating climate change, but what does it mean in practice? Can we still harness technology to drive down emissions fast enough to control global warming, or have we passed a point of no return? Engaged via podcast live-streamed for delegates who registered to login.
