location in the Aegean Sea combining high wave potential and different infrastructure needed to support <strong>E<\/strong><strong>THOS<\/strong> device; and define the environmental design conditions; \u25cf establish the general basis for the OWC device taking into account its power efficiency based on the environmental conditions at the installation location (layout, number and type of oscillating chambers, dimensions, weight, PTO characteristics etc.); \u25cf define the proper mooring system characteristics (type, line length, diameter, weight, stiffness, pretension level etc.); \u25cf evaluate the frequency dependent first order hydrodynamic properties of the OWC device; the dynamic pressure fluctuation and the associated air flow rate inside the OWC chambers; the water surface elevation inside the annular water areas; \u25cf solve the coupled motion equation and evaluate the motions of the OWC device and its power efficiency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

1.2:<\/u><\/strong><strong> Selection of a representative installation location and definition of the environmental design conditions for the selected location: <\/strong>In the present task a representative installation location in the Aegean Sea will be defined. This area has to combine high wave potential and infrastructure ability, such as connection to the grid, skilled labor force, and crane capacity, to support <strong>ETHOS<\/strong> OWC. T1.2 will provide the necessary input for T1.3, 1.5, T1.6 defining the design values of the environmental conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Task 1.3:<\/u><\/strong><strong> General arrangement of the OWC device and its components: <\/strong>The aim of the task is to establish the general layout and dimensions of the OWC device and its components (draft, displacement, thickness, chamber diameter etc.). Towards this goal a parametric geometric analysis will be conducted for various number of oscillating chambers in order to define the proper arrangement for efficient operation at the selected installation location (see T1.2). Furthermore, this task aims at defining the characteristics of the air turbine aiming at the wave energy absorption maximization. Commercial (MIKE21 MA) and home developed software (HAMVAB) will be used.

public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Description of Work:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Task 3.1:<\/u><\/strong><strong> ETHOS manual: <\/strong>This task is dedicated to the development of the main deliverable of the project the <strong>ETHOS<\/strong> manual, where the <strong>ETHOS <\/strong>concept will be presented in detail. The manual will contain all the technical information and figures from the foreseen in the project deliverables, in a comprehensive format, providing useful information for the design of a similar OWC system in another installation location.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Task 3.2:<\/u><\/strong><strong> Dissemination and Communication of ETHOS results: <\/strong>The results obtained from the <strong>ETHOS <\/strong>project and the relevant know-how will be disseminated to the international renewable energy community through international conferences and scientific journals. <strong>ETHOS <\/strong>aims at presenting a significant amount of publications during the endeavor (i.e., 3-4 publications). Indicative scientific journals, well-established in the area of marine structures and offshore energy are: Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, International Journal of Marine Energy, Journal of Ocean Engineering &amp; Marine Energy, Energies, Journal of Marine Science &amp; Application, Applied Ocean Research, Ocean Engineering. Furthermore, a \u201cdynamic\u201d web page containing the scope, the objectives and the major outcomes of the project will be developed and frequently updated (with sections such as project information, news, Living Lab results, hyperlinks to social<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">media, etc.). The <strong>ETHOS<\/strong> project will be also promoted through social network platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) to gain public exposure allowing for direct feedback from the target audience. A unique project \u201chashtag\u201d will be created to monitor the public awareness on the project and increase social acceptance of the new wave energy conversion technology. <strong>ETHOS<\/strong> project aims at developing new efficient tools such as non-technical promotional and teaser videos prepared for alumni with the project process. In addition, lecture presentations with the scientific outcomes of the <strong>ETHOS<\/strong> project will be prepared for graduate students in the School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, NTUA, as well as post-graduate students in the School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering and School of Civil Engineering, NTUA, in which three of the research members (i.e., the Coordinator-Assist. Professor D. Konispoliatis, Prof. I. Chatjigeorgiou and Prof. G. Grigoropoulos) are lecturing.\u00a0 The lectures will also include relevant videos with the scaled-down construction as well as with the experimental tests in NTUA\u2019s wave tank enlightening the scientific background of the proposed project. Finally, <strong>ETHOS<\/strong> aims to develop promotional project brochure and a commercial flyer with the description and outcomes of the <strong>ETHOS<\/strong> device, distributed to the
