Marine Renewables

The module concerns the design, monitoring and assessment of offshore wind and ocean energy farms, in general, and different technologies (both bottom-fixed and floating), specifically, in an integrated manner, including control, installation, maintenance and economics. Regarding the development of offshore energy farms, this means that all relevant aspects and stakeholders are addressed and their implications for design assessed. From a structural perspective, this implies that the different technologies should be understood as a system as a whole and the varying environmental interactions aerodynamic, hydrodynamic and soil be considered in conjunction. The content of the module contributes to the MUDE and Ethics learning lines.

The module is assessed at the end of Q4:

- Group assignment: 80%

- Individual exam: 20%

Relation between assessment module units (weighing)

- HOS-B-1 Probabilistic Design: 20%,

- HOS-B-2 Numerical Modelling: 25%

- HOS-B-3 Offshore renewable Structures: 55%

A successful participation in the module, requires a minimum evaluation of 5.8 in all units.
