WAVE AND TIDAL ENERGY CONVERSION
TRAINING FROM THE EXPERTSDNV GL’s Energy Academy provides a wide range of courses for the electricity supply chains, developed in-house and drawing on our extensive expertise - helping you turn our knowledge into your power.
DNV GL (formerly Garrad Hassan) has been providing independent technical advice to the renewable energy sector for over 30 years. The marine renewables team, formed in 2005 and built upon the accumulated in-house experience, tools and methodologies, offers services to the marine renewables sector, which span from technical due diligence (owner’s or bank’s engineer) to resource assessment, and include numerical modelling, support to experimental test rounds and strategic studies.
Both courses will provide a unique account of R&D and field experience in the wave energy and tidal stream energy sectors, which can be used as a starting point for those who are new to the field or who wish to define a development strategy for their concept / company.
Wave Energy Conversion - 5th MayThis course is designed for professionals who wish to increase their knowledge of wave energy and wave energy conversion technologies. A detailed overview of the fundamental principles behind the main technological solutions to convert ocean wave energy into electricity will be given, along with the key methodologies to evaluate both wave and device data. In addition, hydrodynamic modelling techniques (both numerical and experimental), details of several power conversion mechanisms and an account of full-scale real seas experience to date will also be covered.

Tidal Stream Energy Conversion - 8th MayThis course will provide a detailed overview of the fundamental principles behind the main technological solutions to convert tidal stream ocean energy into electricity, along with the key methodologies to evaluate the tidal resource, site suitability and device performance and loading. In addition, hydrodynamic modelling techniques (both numerical and experimental), a review of the different leading concepts, the design of foundations and installation process and seabed infrastructure, and an account of the industry’s progress to full-scale deployment will also be covered.
Who should attend?Project developers, device developers, lenders, marine contractors, network operators and regulators, R&D institutions, leading test centres and other professionals who wish to benefit from DNV GL’s technical and commercial knowledge of the field. DNV GL assumes that attendees have a basic engineering background. No specific knowledge of the sectors is required.
