Ocean Renewable Energy Symposium

Objectives
Authors and presenters are invited to participate in this event to expand international cooperation, understanding and promotion of efforts and disciplines in the area of Ocean Renewable Energy. Dissemination of knowledge by presenting research results, new developments, and novel concepts in Ocean Renewable Energy will serve as the foundation upon which the conference program of this area will be developed.

Description
Ocean renewable energy has taken on an ever greater significance in achieving the goals that have been set for renewable energy developments worldwide. To achieve these goals, various technology, regulatory, and environmental challenges must be addressed and resolved by the engineering and scientific communities to enhance and exploit the tremendous energy resource available. The objective of this Symposium is to provide a forum for the presentation of relevant research, developments and views on technology and regulatory issues to enhance the exploitation of ocean renewable energy resources. In general, the Symposium will cover all related ocean renewable energy issues of interest to the ocean energy industry and regulatory agencies.  Typical topics will address:

Offshore energy resource policies and regulatory issues
Offshore wave energy technologies
Offshore wind energy technologies
Offshore current energy technologies
Ocean thermal energy conversion
Economic risk assessment of offshore energy projects
Offshore hydrogen generation
Offshore energy project environmental issues
