Masterclass on Virtual Prototyping of Offshore Renewable Energy Technologies (ORE)

This Masterclass aims to introduce the concept of full-scale virtual prototyping and simulation of ORE technologies. This will utilise the Marine Simulator situated at the National Decommissioning Centre (NDC). The centre is a unique UK research facility, that houses a 300 degrees immersive 9-meter diameter dome, equipped with 4 real-time control stations, that allows us to conduct real-time simulations of offshore operations and technologies under the influence of varying climatic and physical conditions (e.g. weather, waves, wind, currents, tides) to verify their feasibility, de-risk future operations and establish safe weather windows.
