InDEEP, DEEC-Tec, and Direct Generation Synergies for Ocean Wave Energy: Wave Energy Scotland's Direct Generation Programme Review

Research output: NLRPresentation

Abstract

The presentation highlights: (i) how DEEC-Tec, advanced through the U.S. DOE's InDEEP Prize, holds the potential to redefine ocean wave energy conversion through modular, embedded energy conversion; (ii) a global scan that identified 158 participants and 35 promising concepts, showcasing strong international momentum; (iii) InDEEP's innovation-first approach and how it complements Wave Energy Scotland's structured Direct Generation research; and (iv) the ongoing and possible future collaborative pathways for co-funded trials, joint metric/standards developments, and maturation of these technologies toward and real-world deployment.
