The scope of this document includes technology associated with utility-scale electricity generation from ocean waves and tidal streams. Future Task 12 activity will expand to incorporate other forms of ocean energy.Electricity is likely to be the main output ocean energy technologies; however, it is recognised that alternative markets are emerging where other functionality may be desirable. Most of the guidance presented in this report are still valid for such alternative applications, but may require case by case adaption, e.g. for situations where electricity is not the primary output.The objectives of Task 12 are: Build international consensus on ocean energy technology evaluationGuide appropriate and robust activities throughout the technology development processShare knowledge and promote collaborationSupport decision making associated with technology evaluation and funding allocationThis document intends to support international efforts by presenting a framework for technology evaluation and guidance of engineering activity, ensuring that decision-makers have consistent information available to them.
