| Abstract | From current estimates of the resource, the marine energy sector could look to provide around 27 of the UK s annual electricity supply. Ultimately, for this to be realised, the developer/investor needs to be confident of the risk and return aspects of their investment through an holistic understanding of: resource quantification and device interaction; engineering risk and uncertainty; attachment, optimisation and control of MEC s; delivery and control of the energy to network infrastructures,and the economic parameters that underpin their investment decisions. At a strategic level, improving knowledge and understanding in these areas enables specific microeconomic research to provide a macroeconomic view of this emerging sector, and enable a range of scenarios to be developed that could respond to changing input/output parameters for the technologies, or larger scale socio-economic and environmental changes. This could provide support to policy development processesand assess theimplications of changes to economic instruments. For the marine energy sector to provide such an assurance to its stakeholders, the proposed research has been developed and tested against 5 overarching principles that must be embodied in each ol the work areas: to deliver a quantifiable reduction in the level of uncertainty; to quantify the risk; to increase the level of understanding within the research (and stakeholder) community; to provide a consistent methodology for progression of newwork,and to deliver an accurate picture of the true position of marine energy converters in a future energy portfolio. By adopting these principles the marine consortium will meet the aims of the SUPERGEN programme, and engage stakeholders in the development of a successful marine energy sector | |
