39 04 / COUNTRY REPORTS JAPAN Yasuyuki Ikegami Institute of Ocean Energy, Saga University RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Government Funded R&D Ocean energy technological research and development has been carried out as a national project for the period 2011-2015 with a total funding of approximately 7.8 billion yen provided by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Under this project, two basic themes are broadly covered: verification research and technology development research. In year 2011, verification research theme included feasibility study of wave power generation conducted by three parties, and feasibility studies of current power generation conducted by one party. Verification research under real sea conditions is planned after year 2014. In year 2011, technology development included research on tidal current power generation and ocean thermal energy conversion. Further, new topics have been added to the wave power and tidal power research. Verification research on the newly established topics has been conducted by one party, while two parties have conducted technology development research on the newly established tidal power topic. At present, there are ten groups in total carrying out research and development for the practical use of the ocean energy; one party is dedicated to ocean thermal energy conversion, one party is dedicated to ocean current power generation, four parties are dedicated to tidal power generation and four parties are dedicated to wave power generation. Verification experiments have been conducted at real sea conditions with the aim of realizing a power generation cost of 40JPY/kWh in practical use by 2015. Resource assessment and experimental tests performed in wave tanks have been carried out during the FS period. Based on the obtained results, NEDO will conduct a stage-gate evaluation in the first quarter of 2013, and identify the parties that will be entrusted to conduct verification research in real sea. Parties passing the stage-gate evaluation are expected to perform environmental impact assessment studies and manufacture the power generation equipment necessary for process demonstration during the fiscal year 2013. Construction and demonstration in real sea is to be done in 2014.

40 Technology Development Technology development research is concerned with the development of core technologies aiming to reduce the power generation cost to 20 JPY/kWh by 2020. Simulation and verification experiments of the various components conducted in wave tanks have been performed during the period 2011-2012. Baseline design and cost evaluation of the various power generation systems is planned in 2013 and later.
