General information
The offshore renewable energy summer school is a two-week IMarEST accredited course hosted by HR Wallingford and is delivered at the end of year one of the Edinburgh / Strathclyde / Exeter Industrial Doctorate Centre in Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE) programme. The summer school is designed to deliver an industry focused course that aims to expand and sustain a community of high-quality staff for the UK offshore renewable energy industry.
Course content
- Module 1: site selection and Environmental assessments and noise modelling (1 day)
- Module 2: flow and tide modelling using TELEMAC-2D (1.5 days)
- Module 3: waves and wave modelling using SWAN (1.5 days)
- Module 4*: Maritime engineering (2 days) *Cannot be booked as an individual module
- Module 5: wave forces on structures (1 day)
- Module 6: marine scour and sediment (1 day)
- Module 7: modelling hall and navigation simulator practical (1 day). This module must be attended in conjunction with Module 6.
- Module 8*: full course assignment.
*Please note that these two modules are only available to delegates booking on the full two week summer school, and cannot be booked individually.
At the end of the course participants will have:
- appreciation of the wide range of issues relating to offshore renewables, and of initial site selection;
- hands on experience of running TELEMAC computational flow and SWAN wave models for resource assessment and design;
- knowledge and application methods for determining forces on offshore / nearshore structures;
- an understanding of environmental legislation and assessments;
- an understanding of key engineering issues, construction methods and equipment; knowledge on specific issues of sediments and scour around offshore structures.
