19 03 / PROJECT ACTIVITIES 3.4 / INTERNATIONAL VISION FOR OCEAN ENERGY Leaders of the Activity Dr. John Huckerby (Chairman of OES) and Mr. Henry Jeffrey (UK Alternate) with help from Ms. Laura Finlay and Mr. Jonathan Sedgwick (Edinburgh University). Duration This Activity was commissioned in April 2011 to follow on from the first phase, which led to the publication of “International Vision for Ocean Energy” brochure in October 2011. The second phase work began in earnest in November 2011 and was completed in October 2012. Objectives The objectives of this Activity was to update the statistical information cited in the first version of the brochure by collaborating with the IEA’s modelling group, who had begun modelling for the biennial Energy Technology Perspectives 2012 publication. For the first time, an IEA publication would include marine energy in its full modelling runs. The revision to the International Vision brochure would thus include peer-reviewed and modelled information from OES and the IEA, helping to fulfil OES’s stated mission to become the “Authoritative International Voice for Ocean Energy”. Achievements in 2012 The modelling work with the IEA began in November 2011 with a meeting between the IEA modelling group and the OES Chairman. The International Vision team then sought information on capex and opex costs, learning rates and qualitative resource estimates (by geographic region) for the following forms of ocean energy - wave, tidal current, tidal rise and fall, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) and salinity gradients. Ranges of levelised costs for the first three forms of ocean energy were found relatively easily but costs for OTEC and salinity gradients were much more difficult. This was because OTEC developers were sensitive about releasing commercial cost forecasts and different salinity gradient technologies are still at an experimental stage. In the end the International Vision team could only submit information on wave, tidal current and tidal rise and fall to the modelling.
20 The first version of the International Vision brochure had been published in September 2011 and was distributed at eight international ocean energy conferences in 2012 as follows: DATES LOCATION CONFERENCE 16 – 18 February 24 - 26 April 1 – 4 May 21 – 24 May 1 June 26 – 27 June 5 - 7 September 13 – 14 September Melaka, Malaysia Washington DC Orkney, Scotland Yeosu, Korea New York, USA Brussels Rome, Italy Nevis St. Kitts IOC WESTPAC workshop GMREC 5th Annual Conference Environmental Impacts of Marine Renewables Conference IEE Oceans 2012 Conference UNICPOLOS conference, United Nations EU-OEA Conference OWEMES 2012 conference 3rd Caribbean Sustainable Energy Conference The revised version II of the brochure was completed with the assistance of a small project team drawn from the Executive and was finally approved at its meeting in Korea in May 2012. The IEA published the ETP 2012 report in June 2012. OES then printed and distributed the revised version II at the following meetings: DATES LOCATION CONFERENCE 17 – 19 October 19-21 November Dublin Kuala Lumpur International Conference on Ocean Energy Offshore Structures Asia Activities Planned for 2013 Version II of the International Vision brochure will continue to be distributed at international ocean energy conferences during the coming year. Funds have been set aside for copies of the brochure to be supplied to Executive members to present the OES Vision, using a customisable Powerpoint presentation and copies of the brochure. At its October 2013 meeting the Executive will decide whether to commit time and effort to update the input data to the modelling, which the IEA modelling group will begin for the Energy Technology Perspectives 2014 publication.
