Seminar: Advancing Offshore Marine Energy Systems and Renewable Energy Structures
MSB114 1000 Pope Rd, HonoluluDr. Alaa Ahmed Ocean Engineer at Atargis Energy Corporation Dr. Ahmed is a candidate for an open HNEI/ORE faculty position in Marine Energy Engineering *In-person (MSB 114) & via Zoom* Zoom meeting link Meeting ID: 235 549 0320 Passcode: ORE Alaa Ahmed is an Ocean Engineer at Atargis Energy Corporation, where she works on the design, modeling, and experimental testing of lift-based wave energy converters. Her current work focuses on advancing wave energy device performance through hydrodynamic analysis, scaled testing, and system-level design considerations to support commercialization and real-world deployment. Previously, Alaa was a Postdoctoral Associate at the SEA Lab
Seminar: Wind-tracing Floating Offshore Structures
https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/93596087383Dr. Masoud Hayatdavoodi Associate Professor in Marine Hydrodynamics and Ocean Engineering School of Science and Engineering University of Dundee Dundee, Scotland, UK Offshore wind is a promising source of marine renewable energy, and one of the fastest-emerging energy alternatives. The UK and many other countries have invested heavily on wind energy, and it is expected that wind, along with solar, would be the two dominant forms of renewable energy soon. Main advantages of the offshore wind resources over near shore options include (i) access to more consistent and powerful wind, (ii) flexibility in site selections, (iii) elimination of visual
Seminar: Feasibility Study for 50 10MW Floating Wind Turbines South of Oahu
Sakamaki B101 2530 Dole St, HonoluluShijie Huang David Leyva Cameron Morrow Lin Sun Offshore wind energy sites have been developed successfully all over the world, making it a mature and reliable technology for Hawai’i. Hawai’i has year-round trade winds that represent a steady source of renewable energy supply. The ORE 783 capstone class has conducted a feasibility study for the development of offshore wind around Oahu. Taking wind climate, wave climate, bathymetry and all other important factors into consideration, the class determined the site, platform type, cable route, and cost estimate for the development of offshore wind energy. Based on the projected costs for the
