Garrad Hassan is offerering a one day course entitled “Introduction to Wave and Tidal Energy Conversion. This one day course is for professionals who wish to increase their knowledge of the key issues associated with wave and tidal energy conversion technologies. A detailed overview of the fundamental principles behind the main technological solutions to convert wave and tidal energy into electricity will be given, along with the key methodologies to evaluate the energy resource, device site suitability and device data. In addition, hydrodynamic modelling techniques (both numerical and experimental), details of several power conversion mechanisms and an account of full-scale real seas experience to date will also be covered.

Course background

Garrad Hassan has been providing independent technical advice to the renewable energy sector for more than 20 years and has actively participated in the evolution of both onshore and offshore wind. The Marine Renewables team, formed in 2005, built on the accumulated in-house experience, tools and methodologies, offers services to the marine renewables sector which span from technical due diligence (owner’s or bank’s engineer) to resource assessment, and include numerical modelling, support to experimental test rounds, and strategic studies.

According to organisers, the course will provide a unique account of R&D and field experience in the wave and tidal energy sector, which can be used as a starting point for those who are new to the field or who wish to define a development strategy for their concept/company.

Who should attend?
Project developers, device developers, lenders, network operators and regulators, R&D institutions, leading test centres and other professionals who wish to benefit from GH’s technical and commercial knowledge of the field. GH assumes that attendees have a basic engineering background, but no specific knowledge of the wave and tidal energy sector is required
