EWTEC Short Course

EWTEC 2015: SHORT COURSE ON WECS MODELLING AND CONTROL

A PhD course on numerical and experimental modeling of wave energy converters will be held in Ecole Centrale de Nantes in the two weeks prior to the EWTEC2015 conference (24th August to 4th September 2015). This EWTEC affiliated course is organized by Aalborg university and Ecole Centrale Nantes. The following topics will be addressed:

  • Wave energy conversion techniques
  • State of the art of numerical modelling of WECs, limitations and alternative approaches
  • Experimental modelling
  • Control of WECs

Numerical and experimental exercises will be carried out during the course. Experiments will be run at the hydrodynamic facilities in Ecole Centrale de Nantes.
