11 02 / REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 2.4 / COLLABORATION WITH IEA INITIATIVES The OES ExCo continued to co-ordinate its activities with relevant IEA meetings and initiatives. Where possible the ExCo is represented at these meeting by members of the Cabinet or delegates. Any meeting attended by the Cabinet in an official capacity, using Agreement Common Funds, is subject of a meeting report to the ExCo by the representative member. Energy Technology Perspectives 2012 The ETP 2012 is the International Energy Agency’s publication on new developments in energy technology. It demonstrates how technologies can make a decisive difference in achieving the objective of limiting the global temperature rise to 2°C and enhancing energy security. ETP2012 presents scenarios and strategies to 2050, with the aim of guiding decision makers on energy trends and what needs to be done to build a clean, secure and competitive energy future. This year the ExCo did collaborate with the IEA’s ETP modeling team. The preparation of the OES document in 2012 “International Vision for Ocean Energy” in close collaboration with the IEA modeling team establish cost and deployment trends which served as inputs to the IEA modeling team, thus enabling the IEA to make credible inclusion of ocean energy trend data, for the first time. More information at: http://www.iea.org/etp/ Energy Technology Network: Energy Technology Initiatives 2012 The IEA has been during 2012 updating results IAs wants to showcase in a Spotlight section of the Energy Technology Initiatives 2012 report. The OES provided inputs on the most relevant OES achievements in 2012: new Annex V initiated during the year and the OES International Vision. Joint IRENA/IEA-RETD workshop “Levelised Costs of Renewable Energy: What if costs continue to drop?” 26 October 2012, Bonn, GERMANY The intention of this IRENA and IEA-RETD workshop was to bring together industry representatives, scientists and policy-makers to discuss the recent developments in RET costs and the future implications of these developments. The costs of many Renewable Energy Technologies (RET) have dropped significantly in recent years due to a virtuous circle of high learning rates and increased RET deployment. At the same time, the impact of integrating larger shares of renewables into electricity systems is becoming more apparent. Institutions, including IRENA and IEA-RETD, are studying the issues and the implications surrounding these developments. The German delegate attended this workshop.

12 2.5 / SPONSORSHIP Ocean Energy Systems provides financial and Non-financial sponsorship to a number of organizations and ExCo members sit on a number of relevant Steering Committees. International Conference on Ocean Energy (ICOE) The ExCo had committed OES to be a non-financial member of the ICOE 2012 conference, which was held on 17 – 19 October 2012 in Dublin, Ireland. ExCo members supported the conference organizer, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), and served on the ICOE 2012 Steering Committee. The International Conference on Ocean Energy is the global marine energy event focused on the industrial development of renewable marine energy. Held every two years, the goal of the conference and exhibition is to share recent experiences from research and demonstration efforts. It aims to accelerate development by stimulating collaboration networks between companies and research and development centres. It also specifically targets engagement of the experience of operators in related marine and power industry sectors. Over 900 international experts and world-leading companies in ocean energy attended this event. The OES sponsored a €3,000 prize fund for the best posters presented at ICOE 2012. A 1 st Prize of €1,500 and 2 second prizes of €750 each were available to PhD, researchers and other students. The ExCo further approved the OES would provide a “home” for past and future ICOE 2012 conference material. Prize Entity Title Prize Entity Title Prize Entity Title First Prize / Name Joana Van Nieuwkoop-McCall University Of Exeter “Evaluation of wave energy resource versus extreme wave conditions at different water depths” Second Prize / Name Lucy Cradden University Of Edinburgh “A combined resource atlas for marine energy” Second Prize / Name Miguel Santos Wedge Global S.L. “Testing of a full-scale PTO based on a Switched Reluctance Linear Generator for Wave Energy Conversion” International Network on Offshore Renewable Energy (INORE) INORE is a network for postgraduate researchers working with issues related to offshore renewable energy: wave, tidal and offshore wind energy. INORE brings together researchers from around the world to meet, collaborate and share knowledge. The OES Executive Committee encourages this network and at the last ExCo meeting, the ExCo unanimously agreed to provide annual sponsorship to INORE, particularly to develop membership in new regions, including Asia and the Pacific. In 2012, OES sponsored the travel costs of the INORE Chairperson to attend the Asian Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (AWTEC) 2012 conference in Jeju, Korea (27-30 November) and promote INORE in Asian region. AWTEC has been established to be the regional conference affiliated to the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC: www.ewtec.org) series, which has been running since 1979. The ExCo intends to continue supporting INORE in its development of postgraduate expertise in marine energy. ANNUAL REPORT 2012
