Marine Renewable Energy is an advanced module covering marine (primarily wave and tidal) energy. The module aims initially to equip you with the knowledge and skills to   perform resource assessment studies for these industries and to analyse and interpret data acquired for such studies. It includes a practical tutorial on the industry- standard wave modelling software SWAN, and development of programming and analysis skills using Matlab. It will also give you an understanding of the wider industries, including technical developments, operational aspects and environmental impacts and the policy context.

 

This is a specialist module that requires a good level of mathematical and computational ability, and is not recommended for interdisciplinary pathways. Prerequisite module: CSM1032 or equivalent.
