- Developments in Wind, Wave, Tidal and Current Technology
21 - 23 April 2010, RINA HQ, London
 Marine and offshore energy offers the potential to meet a small but significant share of the world's renewable energy aspirations. However, the maritime environment also provides many challenges in terms of economics, survivability and reliability of such systems. Offshore wind energy had made the most rapid progress and is now starting to move into large scale commercial developments. Wave energy developments have only seen sporadic progress since the 1970's. Tidal and current stream technologies, which began serious development in the 1990's, are now at the prototype and small scale commercial development stage.
Content
Marine and offshore renewable energy projects involve a wide range of disciplines and expertise. These systems must not only be designed for efficient energy generation and the rigours of the maritime environment but they must also be cost effective to install, maintain and if necessary repair.
This conference will bring together the industry stakeholders to provide a forum for discussion and a means of professional development for those involved with using natural marine resources to generate energy.
The conference will cover a wide range of topics:
o Research, development and testing.
o Design and construction of renewable energy systems.
o Installation, maintenance and subsea operations.
o Transport / lift vessels and associated support infrastructure.
o Project management and integration.
o Economics and viability.
o Marine planning, environmental protection, sustainable development.
o Regulations, licensing and future directions for development.
