ICOE Programme | Our highlights…
Day 1 | Operating in the cruel sea: Learning and planning (0920 – 1035)
Our CEFOW project partners, Jason Schofield (Green Marine) and Irina Temiz (Uppsala University), will discuss their experiences of operations and maintenance at EMEC’s Billia Croo wave test site.
Day 1 | Operating in the cruel sea: Installing, Inspecting & Maintaining (1100 – 1230)
Andrew Scott (Scotrenewables), will discuss low cost floating tidal energy, looking at the success of the SR1-2000 that is currently testing at EMEC’s Fall of Warness test site, and looking forward to the next iteration of the device, being developed under FloTEC.
Day 1 | Development of a Streamlined Consenting Process at the European Marine Energy Centre (1315 – 1345)
Caitlin Long (EMEC’s Environment & Consents Specialist) is presenting a poster within the poster presentation session on how EMEC can aid the development of a streamlined consenting process.
Day 1 | Risk Reduction: Towards more reliability (1705 – 1830)
Johannes Hüffmeier (RISE) discussing the RiaSoR 2 (Reliability in a Sea of Risk) project, and Gregory Pinon (Le Havre University) discussing the MONITOR project.
Day 2 | Solutions for Remote Areas (1330 – 1500)
Neil Kermode (EMEC’s Managing Director) is presenting on ‘Joining the dots – from tidal energy to a hydrogen economy’ to demonstrate how EMEC are pioneering the transition from tidal energy to hydrogen.
Day 2 | Technologies getting wet, corroded and colonized (1330 – 1500)
Andrew Want (Research Associate, Heriot-Watt University) is presenting on ‘Bio-FREE in international collaboration to assess the impacts of biofouling on the marine renewable energy industry’ to discuss what the Bio-FREE project aims to achieve and progress to date.
Day 2 | Building the Blocks of Invisibility – Funding Leverages & Opportunities (1510 – 1625)
Nicolas Wallet (EMEC’s FORESEA Programme Manager) will discuss the advancements FORESEA funding has made within the wave & tidal energy industry in his presentation – ‘FORESEA and the funding jigsaw for technology development’.
Day 2 | Building the blocks of investability: Rising the level of confidence (1645 – 1800)
Our project partner, Peter Scheijgrond (Dutch Marine Energy Centre), will speak about advancing IEC standardisation and certification for tidal energy converters as part of the MET-CERTIFIED project.
Day 2 | Technologies getting wet: wave (1645 – 1800)
Patrik Moller (CorPower) will provide an update on their activities testing at EMEC’s scale wave test site in Scapa Flow.
Day 3 | Updates for test sites (1030 – 1145)

About ICOE 2018
Organised in 2018 by BlueSign in partnership with the Normandy region, Manche Department, Le Cotentin Communauté d’Agglomération and Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, ICOE will be held in Cherbourg, Normandy, from June 12th to 14th in La Cité de la Mer.
Held every two years since 2006, ICOE aims at gathering stakeholders from the sector of ocean energies (tidal, wave, salinity gradient, ocean thermal energies) and sharing the most recent experiences on research, technology transfer efforts and technological demonstration.
The purpose of the event is to accelerate development by stimulating collaboration between companies, researchers and development centres. It also targets engagement of operators with experience in related marine and power industry sectors.
In 2018, ICOE will join forces with Seanergy – the largest event on Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) in Europe – which brought together in 2017, 3,500 experts and professionals, 220 exhibitors and helped organizing more than 800 business meetings.
The complementarity of these two events aims to combine scientific content and business opportunities in order to:
•Disseminate recent technical experiences and demonstration from ocean energy research
•Generate business for companies of the ocean energy sector
•Promote the economic and societal dimension of ocean energy
•Attract young people to work in the ocean energy field
