WP1 focuses on the overall management and coordination of the ONDEP project. This includes ensuring coherent implementation of the project according to the Grant Agreement (GA) and Consortium Agreement (CA), efficient resource utilisation, and timely completion of all deliverables. Key objectives are to facilitate collaboration between partners, monitor project progress, manage financial reporting, and address any potential risks.

WP2 is dedicated to the technical specification and design of the wave energy farm. Key activities include defining the optimal farm layout to enhance hydrodynamic interactions and operational efficiency, creating a Digital Twin for structural monitoring, and mitigating installation risks. Additionally, this work package encompasses the permitting process and connection agreements necessary for financial closure. The integrated efforts in WP2 will yield critical data for subsequent work packages, ensuring a robust foundation for the ONDEP project.

WP3 focuses on the preparation, manufacturing, assembly, and deployment of a wave energy farm consisting of four WaveRoller units, each measuring approximately 20 x 30 meters. Key objectives include overseeing the manufacturing and testing of PTO systems, coordinating the production of steel structures and concrete foundations, developing an operational risk strategy, and managing the assembly and commissioning of the farm for successful deployment.

WP4 aims to ensure the effective operation and maintenance of the wave energy converter (WEC) array while prioritising health, safety, and environmental considerations. This work package focuses on optimising operational strategies to reduce costs and enhance efficiency through extensive monitoring and data analysis. The tasks include developing maintenance protocols to ensure routine inspections and marine operations meet the highest standards, validating environmental impacts through comprehensive monitoring, and leveraging a hybrid digital twin to enable real-time data collection for predictive maintenance. Ultimately, WP4 seeks to deliver an optimised pathway for the long-term sustainability and performance of the wave energy farm.

WP5 aims to conduct a comprehensive impact assessment to inform technical decisions and facilitate the project's replication. It encompasses several key objectives, including the development of an Environmental Monitoring Plan and environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a techno-economic assessment, a societal impact evaluation for public acceptance, and a safety and risk assessment. The outcomes from these assessments will be integrated into a global Barrier Dimension analysis to support scaling up and replicating the project in future applications. This work package is essential for understanding the multifaceted implications of the ONDEP initiative and ensuring its sustainable implementation.

WP6 focuses on scaling up WaveRoller technology for commercially viable wave farms while integrating sustainable practices. Key objectives include refining lifecycle processes, minimising environmental impacts through careful material selection and recycling, and optimising operational efficiency across the array. The work emphasizes a modular design for easy upgrades, waste reduction during marine operations, and enhanced biodiversity. Additionally, it aims to optimise logistics for large-scale deployment by adapting facilities and planning for material sourcing and transportation. Throughout this work package, collaboration with WP2 to WP4 ensures that upscale studies and deployment activities are mutually reinforcing.

WP7 orchestrates the integration of ONDEP’s wave energy concepts into broader commercial viability and scalability within Europe. The work package aims to facilitate the seamless expansion of wave energy farms while contributing to the growth and sustainability of the European energy sector. Key objectives include navigating funding sources, assessing policy frameworks, and developing exploitation strategies to commercialise and replicate the results of ONDEP.

WP8 focuses on managing external communications for the ONDEP project to maximize awareness of its objectives and outcomes, highlighting technological progress and the benefits of wave energy. Key tasks include establishing a Communication & Dissemination Committee and plan, creating communication materials and a project website, engaging target audiences through digital campaigns and events, organizing promotional visits to boost investor confidence, and participating in initiatives like BRIDGE and AIOTI to share insights and best practices within the energy sector.
