WES Programme Summary - Conference 2017
An overview from WES of the overall programme and planned activities for 2018.
The second Wave Energy Scotland (WES) Annual Conference took place on Tuesday 28th November in Edinburgh. The one day conference was well attended and followed the same format as the inaugural conference in 2016, covering the Wave Energy Scotland programme, objectives, upcoming innovation calls and funded technologies. There were 21 project presentations on the day.
This document provides the agenda from this conference. Presentations given by contractors and invited guests are available separately.
Project Keywords: Materials, NWEC, PTO, WES

Main presentation from the 2016 Wave Energy Scotland Conference, describing the Wave Energy Scotland programme, objectives, innovation calls and funded technologies.
This presentation was given by WES at their side event during EWTEC 2017, and showcases programme developments, international collaborations, recently announced activities, and background to tank testing requirements.
This presentation was given by WES-funded contractors in attendence at EWTEC 2017 at the WES side event, and showcases their respective project progress to date.
This presentation was given jointly by WES and the ETP (Energy Technology Partnership) at the WES side event during EWTEC 2017, and gives background on ETP, opportunities for funding and how it it interfaces with WES.
This report presents the process and outputs from a workshop held to identify and agree a measurable set of suitable metrics with minimum numerical thresholds, which can support a list of wave energy converter system requirements.
This report summarises the outcomes of the workshop including: A description of the format of the workshop and its breakout sessions, the discussions which took place, and the conclusions on the metrics and success thresholds agreed.
This report presents the results from a workshop held to validate a set of stage gate metrics for ocean energy technology development programmes. This workshop is the third in a series of workshops which form part of an ongoing collaboration in defining stage gate metrics. This was delivered by Wave Energy Scotland on behalf of and funded by the OCEANERA-NET.
This presentation was given by WES at their side event during EWTEC 2019, and showcases programme developments, updates from developers, international collaborations and recently announced activities. The presentation also includes outline of the WES paper presented during EWTEC 2019.
The documents provide guidance for projects entering at, and transitioning between, Stages 1, 2 and 3 of the PTO programme.
These documents provide guidance for Stage 1 of the Novel WEC programme, outlining the overall competition guidance, supplementary guidance on the wave tank testing elements, the sea state conditions to be used for the WES Mandatory Performance Tank Testing, and the requirements for Third Party Verification of tank testing.
The supporting documentation for Stage 1 of the 3-Stage Structural Materials and Manufacturing Processes programme, which aims to develop alternative materials for WEC technologies.
The supporting documentation for Stage 1 of the 3-Stage Control Systems programme, which aims to design, develop and demonstrate advanced control systems for WECs and their sub-systems.
The supporting documentation for Stage 1 of the 3-Stage Quick Connection Systems programme, which aims to develop to connection systems for prototype WEC developers.
These documents provide guidance for Stage 2 of the Novel WEC programme, outlining the scope of requirements (suggested activities and expected outcomes) and a summary of the process and conditions to be used for the standardised sea states during the WES Novel WEC Stage 2 mandatory performance tank testing.
The supporting documentation for Stage 2 of the Control Systems programme, which aims to design, develop and demonstrate advanced control systems for WECs and their sub-systems.
