Assessment of preliminary configurations

This deliverable is linked to Tasks 7.2 and 7.3 and will describe the results of the assessment of the preliminary configuration designs of the LiftWEC concept. It will fully detail the ‘Scenario Test Cases’ that were run on the preliminary configuration designs. These will include details on the representative sites, met-ocean resource data, vessel parameter data, technician requirements and cost details. This deliverable will provide the outputs from the installation, O&M and decommissioning models for each of the preliminary configurations. A discussion on the results will be included and any potential design improvements or any operational risk areas identified will be consolidated into a series of recommendations for consideration for the baseline configuration designs.
