Abstract:
The Industrial Doctorate Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE) trains research engineers whose work in conjunction with sponsoring companies aims to accelerate the deployment of offshore wind, wave and tidal-current technologies. This is to help meet the UK's ambitious renewable energy targets. Students undertake a four year full time course including time with a sponsoring company working on "real world" applications and research initiatives to obtain their doctorates. IDCORE is administered from the University of Edinburgh.<br />ETI sponsored IDCORE Research Engineer Inés Tunga presents "UK offshore wind cost optimisation: top head mass" at All Energy 2017 in Glasgow. Reducing the 'top head mass' (i.e. nacelle, rotor, gearbox, generator and ancillaries) of a wind turbine is one of the key requirements for current and future designs. It enables a lighter and more cost effective tower and foundation, and reducing gearbox weight and size has a huge benefit.Publication Year:
