3 3 1. TECNALIA: About us TECNALIA Technology Corporation is a European representative agent in the Technological Innovation world whose aim is to contribute to Economic and Social Development, through the development and dissemination of Research. TECNALIA is made up of seven Spanish Technology Centres: AZTI, ESI, FATRONIK, INASMET, LABEIN, NEIKER and ROBOTIKER. TECNALIA KEY FIGURES People: over 1,350 researchers Turnover: 95 million euro Customers: more than 3,500 per annum FP6: 170 projects (contracts amounting nearly 40m) Member of

5 Tidal range resource: 1. Marine Energy Resource in Spain Spain has no appropriate sites (tidal range > 6m) except some commercial harbours with huge environmental impact and restrictions for other uses. Marine Currents: Theoretical resource in the South (i.e. Strait of Gibraltar) and some river mouths not available due to navigation and other use restrictions OTEC (temperature gradient) Insufficient thermal difference Salinity gradient: Theoretical resource at river mouths Important environmental impact, immature technologies Waves: kw/m on Atlantic and Cantabrian coastlines Available resource: 21GW (source APPA) 5 Source: EC (CA-OE project)

Technical potential: 1.5 TWh/year (about 10% of electricity demand of the Basque Country)

7 7 1. Offshore wind

8 8 2. Regulatory Framework & Policies Feed-in tariffs for ocean power (Royal Decree 661/ May 25th) 6.89 c /kwh (first 20 years), 6.51 c /kwh thereafter about 6 times lower than for photovoltaic, similar to onshore wind energy and lower than for offshore wind. possibility of negotiating a particular tariff for each ocean power installation though a comprehensive description is required New legal framework is expected, 2009? Procedures (Royal Decree 1028/ July 20th) This establishes the administrative procedure to apply for authorisation for electricity generation installations at sea. It is mainly focused on offshore wind, but it also includes a simplified procedure for other marine technologies. Targets: Sor far there are no national targets for ocean power. Only one region in Spain, the Basque Country, has considered targets in its energy strategy: 5MW of installed wave power by 2010.

11 11 PSE-MAR Main Spanish initiative in ocean energy research. Total Budget: 25M ( ) 2009) To place Spain at the forefront of Marine Energy 3. R&D projects: PSE-MAR TEST & DEMO INFRASTRUCTURE Environmental & Non-technological Issues Development of the three most promising Spanish technologies for wave energy converters. PIPO HIDROFLOT TECNALIA PROJECT COORDINATION

12 12 3. R&D projects: OCEANTEC Location Shape & orientation Capture principle MAIN FEATURES Off-shore Floating structure Attenuator (lineal absorber) Slender hull shaped body Relative inertial movement Based on a gyroscopic system The floating structure oscillates due to wave movement in its main DOF: pitch mode. The mooring system allows the body to swivel so that it faces the main wave propagation direction. The main advantage of the design is that the capture system is completely encapsulated and not in contact with the sea water Joint venture IBERDROLA TECNALIA INTERNATIONAL PATENT REGISTERED IN 2006

APPA, the Spanish Renewable Energy Association, has created a specific section for marine energy with 15 members. IEC/TC114: Spain is P -member of the standardisation committee on Marine Energy. Spanish mirror group SC114 has been launched in June Spain has recently joined IEA-OES International Energy Agency - Ocean Energy Systems Implementing Agreement.
