Until now, there has been no standardised methodology or common terminology for energy yield and uncertainty assessments associated with wave and tidal energy projects.
Together with Frazer-Nash consultancy, we have produced a standardised approach to assessing and reducing the uncertainty associated with energy yield assessment which will ultimately help to reduce risk and make projects more attractive to investors.
The outputs from this project will bring substantial industry benefits, including:
