Wave Power Development: Past, Present and Future
Tuesday 16 June 2009 18:00 Registration and Refreshments 18:30 Lecture 19:45 Prestige Dinner Location Institution of Civil Engineers One Great George Street Westminster London SW1P 3AA
Content
The development of wave power has mainly taken place since the mid 1970s with a significant increase in activity during the past ten years. However, there have only been a handful of successful demonstration projects at the several hundred kilowatt scale. There are a number of technological and economic challenges which are being addressed by wave power developers and the next few years should see the emergence of multi megawatt wave farms. The lecture will present the design options available to the wave power developer and these will be illustrated by historic, current and potential future examples. Particular emphasis will be placed on the research role universities have played in the development of the industry. Finally wave power will be placed in context relative to other marine renewable and its future prospects presented.
