Australia is at a tipping point as the global push for renewable energy sources continues to gain momentum.
"Harnessing marine resources for renewable energy."
Irene Penesis - April 2019
Professor Irene Penesis believes the nation has a major advantage in its bid to become a world leader in the supply of renewables.
“A vast majority of Australia’s population live around the coast, and Australia has the third- largest exclusive economic zone in the world,” she said.
“A lot of this marine resource is untapped and has the potential to be part of Australia’s mix of renewable energy sources.
“As we continue to move away from conventional oil and gas resources towards renewables such as wind and solar, there is a unique opportunity to utilise what we have on our doorstep by harnessing wave, tidal and offshore wind resources.
“Additionally to being a clean, renewable and emission-free resource, tidal currents are highly predictable. It means that systems can be more easily designed depending on the environment of a given site, and energy load and power availability can be accurately predicted years in advance.
“There is a high potential for on-grid and off-grid needs around islands and remote coastal communities as well.
“Australia’s south and west coastlines are already hosting several wave energy projects as the large swells and high ocean winds make them one of the best locations in the world to commercially harness wave energy.
“There is so much potential to capture and harness this form of energy.”
This potential has inspired Professor Penesis’ research for well over a decade.
Her research interests in experimental and mathematical techniques being applied to ocean renewable energy have also led to several successful industry collaborations.
“I’ve always worked in the area of applying mathematics to the development of solutions for engineering problems,” she said.
“When I arrived at the Australian Maritime College (AMC), I was interested in maritime engineering applications around renewable energy devices, so I pursued my passion in using my hydrodynamics background to develop research-based solutions for industry.”
Over the years Professor Penesis has developed key industry partnerships in the wave and tidal energy sector, in particular, the hydrodynamic aspects of a device’s performance, and runs one of the largest marine renewable energy research groups in Australia.
“Industry focused a lot of its research and development initially at early technology readiness levels, but I was interested in going one step further and understanding how the technology performs when it is in the real ocean environment,” she said.
“I wanted to understand the efficiency of the device, how it performed in realistic ocean conditions, and assess its impact on the marine environment – which led to interdisciplinary research with other areas including the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS).”
Professor Penesis said her research focus is a crucial component to the blue economy, which seeks to provide solutions for the sustainable use of the world’s ocean resources, be it for food, energy or economics.
“We are well positioned to take a lead role in the blue economy on a global scale,” she said.
“The challenge now is applying our technical and scientific abilities and expertise in converting that ocean energy into actual sources of power. This will unlock an unprecedented opportunity in Australia to create new energy markets.”
Irene Penesis is a Professor in the National Centre for Maritime Engineering and Hydrodynamics at the Australian Maritime College (AMC), a specialist institute of the University of Tasmania. Irene was the bid leader responsible for developing the successful application to the Commonwealth’s CRC program, for the Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) in 2019. She currently on secondment to the Blue Economy CRC as their Research Director.
Irene led a multi-disciplinary research team working in the field of marine renewable energy from 2012 until early 2020. Irene led an Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) funded project, Tidal Energy in Australia - Assessing Resource and Feasibility to Australia's Future Energy Mix, with project partners CSIRO and the University of Queensland which started in July 2017. Irene has held several positions including Member of the MERIC Scientific International Committee since 2018, and Chair of Marine Renewable Energy Specialist Committee of the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) between 2011 and 2017, a peak international body developing technical guidelines and procedures relevant to the hydrodynamic testing of wave energy converters, marine current/tidal turbines and offshore wind turbines. Being an outstanding teacher is also an essential aspect of her work and a driver for her passion for engineering and mathematics education.
Biography
Irene Penesis was awarded a PhD in Mathematics in 2002 from RMIT University, Melbourne Australia. Her PhD in the field of tribology examined the pressure field and load-carrying capacity in specialised non-smooth gas-lubricated bearings used in industrial drilling machinery. Irene developed mathematical models to solve the complex elliptic partial differential equations analytically and numerically that governed the pressure field. Before joining the Australian Maritime College, specialist institute of the University of Tasmania, Irene was a lecturer at RMIT University in the School of Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences, and served a short postdoctoral research role modelling shape changes of red blood cells in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne.

Expertise
Irene's research experience is working with varied applications of mathematical modelling techniques applied to the study of maritime engineering and hydrodynamics problems. Her work is centred on experimental and numerical methods that quantify the flow in the study of:
- Ocean renewable energy devices – power generation, environmental impact and resource assessment; both wave energy and marine current energy;
- Blue economy
- Underwater explosions;
- Ship to ship interactions;
- Hydrodynamic interactions between two moving submerged bodies;
- High-speed craft slamming events;
- Lubrication theory in the study of non-smooth slider bearings.
Research Themes
Irene's research aligns to the University's research themes Marine, Antarctic and Maritime and Environment, Resources and Sustainability.
Her work in ocean renewable energy is centred mainly on two types of renewable energy devices; wave energy converters and tidal/current energy devices. Irene has undertaken experiments utilising AMC's specialised hydrodynamic test facilities (the tow tank, wave basin, circulating water channel) and high performance computing cluster, to determine and optimise the performance of these devices in waves and currents respectively, and assess the technical viability of these devices when deployed in real ocean environments. This work has been in collaboration with industry partners, other research organisations such as CSIRO and Swinburne University of Technology. With her collaborators, Irene is also working on the assessment of how ecologically friendly ocean energy devices are on the marine environment, and the assessment of wave and tidal energy resources in Tasmania. Irene has been the driving force in the establishment of the Blue Economy CRC, an industry-driven research and development initiative to enhance the development of Australia’s blue economy through the delivery of world-class, industry focused research into integrated seafood and renewable energy production systems. This partnership involves industry, government and research organisations in Australia and from overseas.
Irene has applied her mathematical skills to other hydrodynamic problems relevant to the maritime industry including hydrodynamic effects in ship-to-ship interactions for Sea Transport Corporation, investigating alternative methods for shock testing defence vessels using an airgun charge for Defence Science and Technology Group and investigating slamming on high-speed catamarans when operating in large waves for INCAT and Revolution Design.
Collaboration
Irene is currently involved in ten nationally funded research projects of international significance, four of which are primarily aimed at building Australia's capability for ocean renewable energy. These projects are conducted in close collaboration with engineering researchers at UTAS and Swinburne University of Technology, the CSIRO, and established Australian wave energy companies, Carnegie Wave Energy, BioPower Systems, Bombora Wave Power and ex-Oceanlinx developers.
In addition, further funded research projects are aimed at developing a new-generation of ship-to-ship transhipping solutions for the mining industry; these are in partnership with international specialist marine design and consulting company Sea Transport Corporation.Other funded research projects are focused on the development of improved educational outcomes for both teachers and students in primary, secondary and higher education in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM); these involve collaboration with several Australian universities.

- Description
- There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that combining offshore wind and wave technologies and sharing common infrastructure can significantly reduce the cost of offshore renewable energy. Both Australia and China are well-positioned to develop combined offshore wind and wave power generation because of their economic capacities, vast wave and wind resources, and strong expertise in the field. The collaboration between the two nations on this task will benefit both the wave and wind energy industries in the long run, with complementary skill-sets. The aims of the proposed Australia-China Joint Research Centre on Offshore Wind and Wave Energy Harnessing are:* Address the scientific challenges in developing efficient, cost-effective and reliable technology of combined wind and wave power generation, as well as the translational challenges in commercialising the research outcomes, via close academia-industry collaboration. * Enhance research collaborations between Australian researchers and Chinese researchers on offshore wind and wave energy harnessing.* Encourage resource, expertise and facility sharing between Australian and Chinese renewable energy communities.* Train early-career researchers in the field for the long-term development of wave and wind energy capability in both nations, as well as globally.* Accelerate the commercialization of wave energy converter technologies and the next stage development of offshore wind turbine technologies in both China and Australia.

- Description
- Knowledge of Australia's tidal resource remains insufficient for prospective tidal energy developers who are expressing interest in developing tidal stream projects in Australia and to make any assessment of their risk for potential projects. Several successful deployments of tidal technologies have been carried out in test centres internationally, and as a result, tidal systems are considered to have the highest TRL's in the ocean renewables sector. AMC-UTAS, with project partners CSIRO and UQ, seek to address this critical knowledge gap.

- Description
- The research will be performed in collaboration with industry, in particular Intecsea, an offshore oil and gas company specializing in innovative front end engineering design in fields of metocean analysis and floating systems, riser and mooring systems and subsea engineering. The currently published research within the RBA filed is very limited and the work proposed will contribute to fields of interest to the offshore industry. Development of the probabilistic analysis methods for the complete floating system, including its dynamic risers, is important for the offshore industry, especially for fields in deep water and with harsh environment. Establishing consistent probabilistic methods for the analysis of the hull, moorings and the risers will enable the design process to be streamlined and will contribute to improved safety and efficiency of the floating production systems.

- Description
- Australia's future in the next three to five years depends on a stronger workforce with more qualified engineers and associated professionals with the high level skills capable of delivering the needs of growing industries such as advanced manufacturing and the maritime sector. In recent years, Australia's 'traditional' manufacturing industries like construction, automotive and forestry have seen a decline in business leaving much of the current workforce looking to utilise their technical skills and knowledge elsewhere. Hence, providing pathways that allow the reskilling or upskilling of the current workforce, to develop more complex skills required for future industries becomes essential. This project will initially focus on the engineering and associated skills required for the growing Tasmanian advanced manufacturing and maritime industry. It will investigate what pathways exist or may be required in higher education and vocational education and training to meet these needs and will serve as a pilot for a full application examining this nationally.

- Description
- CSIRO have successfully signed with ARENA (the AustralianRenewable Energy Agency). This is a subcontract with CSIRO to compare estimates between numerical and laboratory models, and dedicated fieldobservations, of (i) the qualitative structure of the current field around a wave energy converter (WEC); and (ii) the attenuation of the wave field 'downstream' of a WEC.Its from this study would indicate the basic qualitative pattern of currents created by a wave energy device: for example, whether the device would producea current in the form of a jet, a single vortex, a pair of vortices, or multiple vortices, and enable validation of idealized numerical and laboratory experimentswith field collected data. Furthermore, measurements of wave energy attenuation 'down‐stream' of the WEC(s) will be compared between idealizedlaboratory and numerical experiments, and insitu field measurements. These comparisons will allow the project to determine how representative the fieldmeasurements are of alternative WEC technologies, for which other idealized experiments have been carried out.

- Description
- The primary objective of this project is to determine the impacts of a single wave energy converter on several critical aspects of the marine environment at Port Macdonnell, SA. In order to undertake this research the following research outcomes will be addressed: 1) the effect of the WEC on fish community structure and southern rock lobster abundance; 2) the effect of the WEC on the abundance and diversity of native and non-native fouling communities; 3) the effect of the WEC on acoustic profiles recorded at the structure and at defined distances away from the structure This project will provide new information on how the deployment of a specific type of WEC, an oscillating water column (OWC), will impact the surrounding marine environment. It will utilise a rigorous before-after-control-impact (BACI) design to determine impacts on fish communities, commercial crustacean species and fouling communities. By also determining changes to noise regimes it will provide a framework to understand potential mechanisms behind any changes to biological communities. These data can then be used to design future experiments that for example, determine the effects of noise on fish and crustacean species. Given that this structure is proposed to be the first of an array designated for the region, these data can be extrapolated to take into account further WEC development in the region. This research analyses the effects a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) situated close to the shore at Port MacDonnell SA will have on acoustic profiles, fouling assemblages and pelagic and demersal fisheries species of the region. It is anticipated that this study will encourage better management practices to be developed in regard to the installation of WECs and other renewable energy devices offshore, which will help protect native species in the region.

- Description
- This project investigates the transformative role of Echo360 on learning and teaching through: a) examining the impacts of the technology on student learning behaviours including learning approaches, class attendance, and the use of Echo360 generated-materials; b) investigating the relationship between class attendance, the use of Echo360-generated materials, and student performance; and c) evaluating the impacts of Echo360 on teaching efficiency and identifying effective practices in using the technology to enhance flexible and online/distance delivery. Participants of the project not only include lecturers of different disciplines, but also an education developer and a learning service coordinator. Given the wide use of Echo360 in Australian universities and limited research on the impacts of the technology on learning and teaching, there is a great opportunity for the project to be extended.

- Description
- With Australia's mining boom already reaching its high point, the industry will increasingly rely on cost-efficiency to compete with emerging sources around the world. The project will develop one of the most significant advances in the technology of bulk ore transhipment in decades. The concept of a floating harbour transhipper involves a large covered floating storage vessel incorporating a well dock that interfaces with a feeder vessel. This would allow Australia's mining export industry, particularly smaller companies in remote locations, to adopt much smaller harbours, reduce capital expenditure on dredging and infrastructure, and boost environmental sustainability.

- Description
- AMC was requested to develop and conduct a series of scale model experiments to quantify the calm water performance of a novel ROP AX catamaran. This required the conduct of experiments in the AMC towing tank and modifications to the hull model. Analysis of the raw experimental data was undertaken by AMC personnel. A written report was provided which included details of the test program, model particulars, facility and instrumentations details, experimental test rig and procedures, video and photographs, results and discussion. This project required the conduct of applied research to conduct an original series of experiments on a dedicated scale model of a novel ROP AX catamaran. It addressed the research question: How do changes in the loading conditions and modifications to the hull form affect the powering, sinkage and trim of a novel ROP AX catamaran when travelling at a range of speeds? Its innovation lay in the conduct of a novel series of physical experiments to obtain previously unavailable data on the calm water performance of a novel ROP AX catamaran hull form for operation over a range of speeds.

- Description
- This project will develop new ocean wave energy technologies for electricity generation and desalination. Use of this renewable energy technology will dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The aim is to optimize the next generation of near-shore Oscillating Water Column ocean wave energy conversion systems for utility-scale electricity and desalinated water production. Physical experiments will be used to visualise and quantify the particle flow in and around the systems to identify and minimise energy losses. The results will ensure Oceanlinx, recipients of multiple international renewable energy awards, continues to lead the development of the most effective and economically attractive wave energy conversion systems in the world.
