Summary
Various pretesting activities will take place which will lead to the right choice of materials and setup Robustness fouling ease of handling Training and Capacity Building of personnel and cost are among the test parameters The initial design is adapted and redesigned based on the results of the feedback loops and pretests Monitoring tools should be also adapted to local pilot conditions such as strong bottom sandwaves great depth or high turbidity Pilots 1 and 3 will perform a number of tests at a nearshore test site Pilot 2 will improve the results with feedback loops from wind turbine operators Ventolines and offshore solar farm operators OOE Pilot 4 will test different options and evaluate different versions of health and safety issues as well as preparing respective concepts for the offshore operation Pilot 5 will conduct pretests of technological implementations for all planned offshore activities Certain technological parts need pretesting before incorporating into the already existing offshore operational scenario WP2 WP4 This holds in particular for the baseline study of the interlinking of multifactor monitoring systems for which also training of personnel WP5 eg handling calibration maintenance is needed while estimates on the synergy effects of the multiuse concept eg economics running costs personnel costs shared ship time can be made followed by immediate adjustments to reach optimization WP3 Such test and optimizations are more costeffectively performed at a near shore site easier logistics saving a lot of manpower time where support infrastructure exist Pretesting and redesign results will be synthetized in deliverable D72Additionally this deliverable will be responsible for the production of the components of the offshore unit based on the pretesting outcomes of Subtask 713 This includes the major components for the floating solarPV system and integration system Pilot 2 base and facilities for divers on the platform Pilot 4 and 5 longlines connectors moorings and linking units to the platform harvesting equipment units appropriate for the attachment of seaweed rhizoids as well as the various types of ropes to be tested as substrate for seed Pilot 1 2 3 Longlines will be designed by UGent for the different pilots 1 2 and 3 suitable for the rough North Sea conditions The concession holders will determine the framework of the technical requirements The natureinclusive scour protection for the promotion of flat oyster reef restauration will be designed only for pilot 3 The final objective of this subtask is developing a blueprint for the offshore site operation as in deliverable D72
