This module provides students with an advanced knowledge of wind and tidal power systems integration, which includes insight into individual components. Considerable emphasis is placed upon design and architecture, together with the influence of policy, regulation and whole-life cost on optimised solutions. Current wave power technologies and their future potential will also be covered. A key aspect of the course is the high level of expert industrial input which will allow students to gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art design tools. A series of practical examples in conjunction with well-documented case studies will complement the presented material. The coursework will include an in-depth group project using the GH Bladed software to design wind turbines. pre-requisite This unit is available without
