3 01 / INTRODUCTION 1.3 / OCEAN ENERGY SYSTEMS The Ocean Energy Systems Implementing Agreement (OES) is an intergovernmental collaboration between countries, to advance research, development and demonstration of technologies to harness energy from all forms of ocean renewable resources, such as tides, waves, currents, temperature gradient (ocean thermal energy conversion and submarine geothermal energy) and salinity gradient for electricity generation, as well as for other uses, such as desalination, through international co-operation and information exchange. The OES covers all forms of energy generation, in which seawater forms the motive power, through its physical and chemical properties (Figure 1). It does not presently cover offshore wind generation, since seawater is not the motive power (offshore wind is covered by the Wind Energy Implementing Agreement). Ocean Energy Tidal Rise & Fall Tidal / Ocean Currents Waves Salinity Gradient Thermal Gradient FIG. 1: Principal Forms of Ocean Energy IEA Implementing Agreements (IAs) operate on a 5-year period called a “term”. Before completion of a term, an IA’s ExCo can apply for a further 5-year mandate. The grant of a new term involves the submission by the ExCo of an End-of-Term Report, summarizing how the IA fulfilled the aims of its past Strategic Plan, and a new Strategic Plan for the next term. The current term of OES expired on 28 February 2012. Thus, a request for a new 5-year term, including the End-of-Term Report and a new Strategic Plan, had been submitted to the IEA’s Committee on Energy Research and Technology (CERT) in July 2011, and was approved on 1 February 2012. The OES international co-operation facilitates: ÌÌ Securing access to advanced R & D teams in the participating countries ÌÌ Developing a harmonized set of measures and testing protocols for the testing of prototypes ÌÌ Reducing national costs by collaborating internationally ÌÌ Creating valuable international contacts between government, industry and science The ExCo is continuing to develop a suite of information dissemination tools that will assist the OES in becoming a leading international authority on ocean energy. Ocean energy remains an emerging technology area and will continue to benefit from the existence of the international collaboration mechanism offered under the Implementing Agreement contract.
4 1.4 / OES’S STRATEGIC PLAN The Strategic Plan for a 3 rd term (2012 - 2016) of the OES has been developed within the context of the founding objectives of the International Energy Agency, coherence with the Strategic Plans of CERT and Renewable Energy Working Party and the need for (and agreement to) a globally accepted Vision for Ocean Energy. The new Strategic Plan proposes a new International Vision for OES: As the Authoritative International Voice on Ocean Energy we collaborate internationally to accelerate the viability, uptake and acceptance of ocean energy systems in an environmentally acceptable manner. It identify and prioritises four Critical Success Factors for which an action plan for the next 5-year term has been developed: ÌÌ High quality information ÌÌ A strong communications programme ÌÌ An effective organisation ÌÌ Shared capability growth THE OES ROLE Connect - organisations and individuals working in the ocean energy sector to accelerate development and enhance economic and environmental outcomes Educate - people globally on the nature of ocean energy systems, the current status on development and deployment, and the beneficial impacts of such systems, improve skills and enhance research. Inspire - governments, agencies, corporate and individuals to become involved with the development and deployment of ocean energy systems Facilitate - education, research, development and deployment of ocean energy systems in a manner that is beneficial for the environment and provides an economic return for those involved. THE OES ORGANISATIONAL VALUES THAT GUIDE OES ACTIONS Integrity - Any information provided can be relied upon. Outcome-oriented - We are driven by pragmatic solutions that enhance the global community. Knowledgeable - All information is based on fact and we ensure that we always have the most relevant and up-to-date researched facts available. Inspirational - Our performance and our members are committed to providing inspired and collaborative information to accelerate the implementation of environmentally friendly ocean energy systems globally. Collegial - We are committed to working professionally with each other in the pursuit of our audacious goal. ANNUAL REPORT 2012
