Life-cycle activity clusters of the Wavetrain2 formal (dark) and associate (light) partners. The
grouping is meant to reflect the expected specialised research activity fields during a typical life-cycle of a
wave energy development project. Central topic is the product of such development, namely the actual
prototype development and monitoring. Institutions actually requesting researcher-month within an activity
are indicated in bold. Solid lines indicate already existing or obligatory collaborations in the work plan,
dashed lines indicate potential and desirable collaborations encouraged by the project implementation.

The contents of the work plan is structured into 9 work packages, in each of which it is expected to
achieve a significant advance of the state-of-the art within the Wavetrain2 activities:

WP 1: Non-linear and survival hydrodynamic modelling
WP 2: On-line control strategies and components
WP 3: Design of electrical underwater connections and substation
WP 4: Analysis and development of new and improved concepts and components
WP 5: Engineering, analysis and monitoring of full-scale and prototype plants
(performance, safety and environmental impacts)
WP 6: Offshore & Naval Aspects
WP 7: Wave resource and forecast
WP 8: Tank testing
WP 9: Public policies and socio-economic and environmental impacts
