  1. HYDROGRAPHIC SOCIETY4 DECEMBER 2007 NICK HARRINGTON, BSc, MRICS

  2. WHY RENEWABLE ENERGY? • Reduction of emissions, Kyoto targets • Security of supply • Cost

  3. MARINE ENERGY • Tidal Barrage • Tidal Stream • Wave Energy • Shoreline • Seabed • Shallow water • Deep water

  4. WHY IN SOUTH WEST? • Strong wave and tidal resource • Existing marine sector • Academic base • Opportunities in new industry

  5. WAVE POWER LEVELS Source: World Energy Council website - based on Claesson, (1987)

  6. TIDAL RESOURCE

  7. WAVE RESOURCE

  8. STRONG EXISTING GRID

  9. COSTS OF ELECTRICITY GENERATION Source: PB Power “Powering the Nation” March 2006

  10. R&D NaREC Demonstration Initial prototype EMEC Refined prototype Wave Hub Pre- commercial device Market entry with commercial product Market penetration WAVE HUB – UK ROUTE TO COMMERCIALISATION

  11. WAVE HUB PROVIDES • Consented sea area • Grid connected 5MW per berth • Monitoring and testing • Power purchase agreement • Opportunities to collaborate • Access to suppliers’ research base

  12. WESTWAVE - PELAMIS

  13. OCEAN POWER TECHNOLOGIES - POWERBUOY

  14. OCEANLINX

  15. FRED OLSEN – FO3 BULDRA

  16. SITE IDENTIFICATION • Wave resource • Grid connection • Shipping • Wildlife • Fishing • Military • 12 NM limit

  17. SITE SELECTION Source: Halcrow Wave Hub Technical Feasibility Study – Jan 2005

  19. PLANNING CONSENT • Electricity Act 1989 – Section 36 • declaration to extinguish rights of navigation • deemed consent for works on land • Food & Environment Protection Act 1985 – Section 5 • Coast Protection Act 1949 – Section 34 FURTHER APPLICATIONS • Safety zones • Device specific FEPA licences

  20. Terrestrial ecology Intertidal ecology Subtidal ecology Ornithology Marine ecology Fish and fisheries study Cetacean survey Water quality ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT • Sediment quality • Archaeological assessment • Landscape and visual amenity • Underwater video • Impact on surfing beaches • Stakeholder and community consultation

  21. SOUTH WEST WAVE HUB • Coastal Processes Study • Marine Traffic Survey • Navigation Risk Assessment

  22. CONSENT Consent granted 17 September 2007 • First Section 36 marine renewables consent in UK • Consent conditions
