Design for Offshore Energy unit (JEE364)

Introduction

This unit focuses on the design of offshore energy infrastructure, exposing students to practical design considerations, issues, and processes. It consolidates and expands on knowledge in mooring system design, fixed and floating offshore structure design, ocean wave mechanics, and resource characterization. Emphasizing the application of this prior knowledge to practical design, the unit will introduce preliminary design aspects including regulatory, environmental, and social requirements, as well as structural design requirements and power transmission systems, to allow students to complete a design project centred around the deployment of site specific offshore energy developments.
