Imperial Corporate Training Institute offers Marine Renewable Energy Training Course is a unique educational programme providing learners with an in-depth understanding of energy produced from marine and ocean resources. Due to the shift towards sustainability in global energy systems, marine-based energy solutions such as offshore wind, tidal energy, and wave power are becoming essential components of modern power and utility companies’ strategic plans. This course provides a clear, systematic understanding of the operation, design, and integration of marine renewable technologies into existing energy systems.
The course covers all aspects of ocean energy technology ranging from resource assessment through the stages of large-scale deployment and grid interconnections. It includes multiple perspectives regarding the technology (technical, operational, environmental, and economic), thus providing participants with an overarching view of blue energy technology. This course will enable energy professionals to strengthen their knowledge of marine energy projects’ evaluation process, participation in technology regulatory action, and grow their contribution towards developing marine renewable energy in both national and international forums.
Objectives
By completing this Marine Renewable Energy Training Course, participants will be able to:
- Become acquainted with the fundamentals and principles involved with generating marine renewable energy (MRE).
- Following that, you will analyse how the engineering principles behind generating ocean energy via offshore wind farms, tidal power and wave power work.
- You need to identify the benefits, drawbacks, and risks associated with using blue energy technologies; this will give you an understanding of the marine renewable energy technology landscape.
- You need to have a thorough understanding of site selection, resource assessment and feasibility analysis associated with MRE project development.
- You will learn to gain insight into the installation, operation and maintenance of marine renewable energy (MRE) infrastructure.
- You’ll also explore the grid integration challenges that offshore and other forms of marine-based power generation present.
- You’ll also learn about the environmental, ecological, and social impacts of MRE projects.
- You will gain an understanding of the policy, regulatory and permitting frameworks applicable to the development of MRE projects.
- In addition to learning the above topics, you’ll also be applying lifecycle costs as well as economic valuation methodologies related to your potential investment in MRE projects.
