Short Training Course in Marine and Wind Energy

Why Attend

This course presents this training course in wind and marine energy provided by a team of internationally experienced energy engineers. 

The aim of the Renewable Energies Crash Course was to awareness and knowledge of this sector and ultimately to ensure that the skills requirements for this growing sector are met. This course presented marine energy fundamentals, available opportunities and skill sets required within the wave and tidal sector. It covered the key requirements of building a commercial marine energy project, including technologies, business development, the policy framework and environmental consenting. It also examined the developing technologies that will impact the skills requirements in this sector such as smart grid and smart sensors, big data and energy storage.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
