This unit provides students with an advanced knowledge of wind and tidal energy systems. A key aspect of the course is the high level of expert industrial input, which will give students exposure to commercial knowledge and experience.
The unit’s lectures cover technical theory combined with industry case studies to demonstrate its practical application. Although the majority of lectures are common to all students, two separate coursework projects are offered, one focused on turbine analysis/design and another focused on foundation analysis/design.
The main aims of this unit are:
Upon successful completion of the unit the student should be able to:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, which may include lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
