“…A change in French legislation has been promised when the technology is more mature, thus putting investors' decisions on hold. As in the case of offshore wind, such deployment support could be vital for the development of the sector (Jay, 2011;Wieczorek et al, 2012).…”

“…However, suggestions for the development of the sector could take inspiration from the path followed by other young technologies, e.g., offshore wind. The development of the offshore wind energy system in the UK has followed a path marked by several features, such as the 'recognition of an exceptional resource and relative ease of exploitation; government commitment and policy geared to controlled growth and strategic oversight, adequate economic support and start-up investment; and growing scale, confidence and organisation on the part of the industry' (Jay, 2011). The above quotation includes key aspects of the functional innovation system approach (TIS) which could also be replicated in the marine energy sector's take-off.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper describes innovation activities in the marine energy sector across ten European countries in 2011. Intense knowledge creation occurred in the UK and northern European countries, while European research networks encouraged public-private partnerships facilitating knowledge diffusion. An analysis based on a technological innovation system (TIS) has identified challenges for the system to evolve from one phase of development to another, i.e. from pre-development to take-off phase. In order for marine energy to pass successfully through the commercialisation 'valley of death', entrepreneurial experimentation and production is crucial. Entrepreneurial initiatives were developed mainly in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway and Ireland, whereas France, Germany and Sweden were active through venture capital initiatives. Additional system-builders, such as the authorities in charge of energy policies, could offer guidance for research, ensure legitimacy and effectively mobilise resources for system development. Although public support was efficient in stimulating private investment, national targets seemed less efficient in creating a long time horizon for private investors, due to consecutive, unexpected changes. In contrast, positive interactions between technology developers and policymakers could empower market formation. Ultimately, the creation of a policy community, also involving local communities, could foster a positive environment for the development of innovation activities.

“…In recent years, the renewable energy sector has been moving from on-land application to offshore power plants and expanding to waters far from land (Jay, 2011). All of these applications are permanently connected to the shore by subsea power or telecommunication cables.…”

The detection and maintenance of power and telecommunication subsea cables are often difficult and dangerous. Globally, engineers have approached such tasks using different methods. Although the subject is of great importance, there is no single universally accepted method or even agreement about existing methods. This review focuses on electromagnetic detection as a widely used technique for detection of buried cables.The paper reviews practical methods used in electromagnetic detection of subsea cables and ferromagnetic objects. It begins describing the use of simple searching coils carried by a diver and concludes with techniques that implement magnetometers on autonomous survey platforms.The methods used in electromagnetic subsea cable detection are often based on simple and established technologies. Despite this, detection of general ferromagnetic objects in the subsea environment is an active area of research. This review also describes developments in underwater unexploded ordnance detection, which can be technologically transferred to the detection of power and telecommunication cables.
