Wave energy is one of the most promising renewable energies available with its very large resource. The waves generated by the wind field are steadier than the wind field itself, rendering wave energy more consistent than wind energy. It is also more predictable than wind and solar. Wave energy is making continuous progress towards commercialisation, and thanks to an increasing number of deployments at sea, the sector is increasing the understanding of the costs and economies of these projects. No wave energy converter has been demonstrated to be commercially viable, and it is yet to be proven that wave energy can contribute to the renewable energy mix. In this context, and in order to find an economically viable solution for exploiting wave energy, it is important to assess the economic potential of a particular concept throughout the entire technological development process. At early development stages, this assessment can be challenging and present large uncertainties. Notwithstanding, it is important to perform the economic assessment already at the early stages in order to identify possible bottlenecks or potential improvements or modifications of a concept. This work presents guidance for the economic evaluation of a wave energy concept at an early development stage by setting up the economic frame based on a target LCoE. It involves the understanding of the entry cost to be achieved for a specific target market and evaluating the breakdown of costs based on a detailed technology agnostic database of costs. The guidance is then applied to a new type of wave energy converter, in which the primary coupling with the waves is through hydrodynamic lift forces.

Avalia como o diálogo competitivo em licitações pode contribuir para aprimorar a produção tecnológica nacional. Desenvolveu-se estudo com aplicação do modelo dos múltiplos fluxos de Kingdon (problemas, soluções e política). Por meio de metodologia exploratória e qualitativa, analisaram-se materiais disponíveis no repositório Science Direct, após critérios objetivos amparados na métrica CitiScore desenvolvida pela Scopus. Os resultados indicaram a possibilidade de estímulo à inovação, com colaboração dos interessados, sustentabilidade, eficiência, mitigação da percepção de riscos e compensação de deficiências administrativas. Detectaram-se questionamentos com relação à eficiência e à eficácia da modalidade licitatória. O estudo foi parcialmente suficiente para identificação dos limites do diálogo competitivo como mecanismo de estímulo à inovação.

“…Despite the high cost of existing in-stream tidal power, as well as in the case of other marine renewable energy technologies, several governmental supporting mechanisms and new marine planning policies are progressively becoming available, which aid the development of marine renewable energy plants [4]. Therefore, from one side, first prospects for commercial plants development exist, on the other side, new approaches and technical assessments are required to realistically evaluate the viability of new potential hydrokinetic plants case by case.…”

The worldwide river and tidal hydrokinetic power potential is considerable. Harnessing such potential could allow the generation of a significant amount of sustainable electricity for local uses. To the present, most studies on hydrokinetic power have focused on large-scale commercial technology development, large tidal farms planning, and high-intensity resources assessment. Reduced attention was oriented towards investigating possibilities for small to medium-size hydrokinetic plants. However, given the characteristics of rivers and estuaries, in most cases, relevant hydrokinetic power exploitation possibilities exist regardless of the dimensions of the region considered. The planning of small to medium-size hydrokinetic plants for various aspects differs from larger developments. In the present work, a method for assessing the hydrokinetic resource is proposed and applied to the case study of the Douro waterway, which is characterized by moderate flow speeds and limited water depths. A high-resolution shallow-water numerical model is set up using ocean and river inflow boundary conditions. The flow velocities are estimated for the neap-spring period for different freshwater discharges. The spots presenting the highest annual hydrokinetic power average were identified, maximum flow speeds of about 1 m/s were found, and an annual mean power of 0.4 kW/m2 was estimated, indicating that prospects for hydrokinetic energy harvesting exist.
