At present no common practices are adopted to assess the performance and operational characteristics of conceptual and small prototype wave and tidal energy devices when tested within controlled laboratory environments. Information acquired from this early stage assessment may be used to secure development funding or promote a specific wave or tidal energy device. Since no standards exist, the data produced may be misinterpreted or inaccurately presented, which in turn may lead to failure to live up to performance expectations, as devices scale up in size.

N/A
Wave and tidal energy technologies are in there infancy in commercial deployment and operation. Although many devices exist in concept, only a small number have progressed to scale testing either in test tank or scaled sea conditions. With a number of devices existing at the concept stage and all seeking resources to progress prototype models, it is important to establish what current practices are adopted to appraise the performance of concept devices and the quality checks implemented to ensure a degree of accuracy is attained when undertaking this. In addition to the assessment processes undertaken, it is also important to understand how data produced from this early assessment is presented and used in order to establish appropriateness.

A wave or tidal resource assessment should provide a quantified estimate of the available energy and an assessment of the operating and survival characteristics of a specific site. This process may be performed through a combination of in-situ measurements and numerical modelling. Key elements described in this protocol include: measurement and raw data analysis; key descriptive parameters; numerical modelling guidance; assessment of extreme conditions; and the identification of constraints on development. The protocol does not consider the interaction of the device with the environment or potential interference due to multiple devices located at one site.

Effects of offshore wind farm noise on marine mammals and fish
Thomsen, F. et al.
2006
COWRIE Ltd.
N/A
Since the beginning of the planning and installation of offshore wind farms, the possible impacts on marine mammals and fish have been discussed intensively within the public and the scientific community. Especially the noise created during pile-driving operations involves sound pressure levels that are high enough to impair the hearing system of marine mammals near the source and disrupt their behaviour at considerable distance from the construction site. Previous investigations also indicated that the construction phase will have considerable effects on fish species common in northern European waters. The goal of this study was to provide a further assessment on the effects of offshore wind farm related noise on selected marine mammal.

Assessment of sub-sea acoustic noise and vibration from offshore wind turbines and its impact on marine wildlife; initial measurements of underwater noise during construction of offshore windfarms, and comparison with background noise
Nedwell, J.; Langworthy, J. & Howell, D.
2003
COWRIE
N/A
The United Kingdom government’s renewable energy strategy has a target of providing 10% of the UK’s electricity from renewable sources by 2010, and 15% by 2015. A significant expansion of offshore wind energy is an important component of this strategy. The UK's first large-scale offshore wind farm, at North Hoyle in Wales, was commissioned in November 2003, and a second development at Scroby Sands is nearing completion. Further major developments are planned at the Thames Estuary, the Greater Wash and in the North West. The wind energy industry has concerns as to whether underwater noise during the construction and operation of windfarms might have the capacity to cause environmental effects, such as avoidance by marine mammals and fish.

A review of offshore windfarm related underwater noise sources

2004
COWRIE
N/A
A concerted effort is currently being made by industry to minimise any undesirable effects relating to windfarm development and operation. One potential effect of offshore windfarm development is the creation of underwater noise. Although the effect of underwater noise is not fully understood, it has the potential to disturb, and in the most severe cases, harm marine wildlife. Possible effects include attraction towards a noise source, avoidance, temporary hearing damage and permanent physical injury.

Effects of Pile-driving Noise on the Behaviour of Marine Fish
Mueller-Blenkle, C. et al.
2010
COWRIE
N/A
Studies on the effects of offshore wind farm construction on marine life have so far focussed on behavioural reactions in porpoises and seals. The effects on fish have only very recently come into the focus of scientists, regulators and stakeholders. Pile-driving noise during construction is of particular concern as the very high sound pressure levels could potentially prevent fish from reaching breeding or spawning sites, finding food, and acoustically locating mates. This could result in long term effects on reproduction and population parameters.

N/A
Many countries now recognise the need for mitigation of climate change induced by human activities and have incorporated renewable energy resources within their energy policy. There are extensive resources of renewable energy within the marine environment and increasing interest in extracting energy from locations with either large tidal range, rapid flow with and without wave interaction, or large wave resources. However, the ecological implications of altering the hydrodynamics of the marine environment are poorly understood.

N/A
There is an ongoing development of offshore renewable energy projects worldwide. Marine wind power technology is the most advanced and tidal and wave power projects are creating increasing interest. Marine renewable energy projects to date have been focused in northern Europe, yet developments are also planned and underway in other parts of the world. Whilst these offshore renewable energy developments are typically characterised as environmentally desirable, there are some associated adverse impacts that deserve careful consideration. However, the renewable energy industry is in some ways still in its infancy and, as such, not all of its impacts are clear or fully assessed. This paper outlines the global development of this sector.

The development of wind farms in the marine environment is set to expand rapidly in the future as governments strive to meet greenhouse gas emission targets and renewable energy commitments. Marine wind farms constitute a new development and one for which the associated environmental impacts remain largely unexplored. Areas of particular concern, including those related to development within important cetacean habitat, are discussed. It is our contention that marine wind farms should not be developed without due consideration being given to possible environmental consequences and that this should be done via appropriate environmental impact assessments.

N/A
This reports reviews the possibilities to mitigate the noise arising from pile driving for the construction of offshore windfarms. It analyses mitigation measures which have been applied in related projects and assesses their applicability to offshore pile driving. Based on this, suggestions for new mitigation measures are made. The report identifies two methods which are promising to be both applicable and effective in reducing underwater noise arising from offshore pile driving. Both methods are considered to be generally compatible to the working processes at sea. Although further engineering work would be needed, they could be brought into practice within a few months.

During summer 2008, 92 monopile foundations of 3.9 m diameter were rammed into the seabed of the Danish North Sea west of Esbjerg to construct the offshore wind farm Horns Rev II. The aim of this study was to investigate the spatial and temporal scale of the effects of underwater noise from pile driving on harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena). Using passive acoustic monitoring devices (T-PODs) to record porpoise echolocation clicks, we found a clear impact of pile driving activities during construction of the wind farm on porpoise acoustic activity.
