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.
This report contains a selection of case studies from ETI and EPSRC funded IDCORE students, covering Offshore Wind and Marine Energy projects for a variety of clients including Alstom and EDF. |
