Larval dispersal and population connectivity: implications for offshore renewable energy structures
The installation of marine renewable energy devices (MREDs) is progressing rapidly along many coastlines. It has been suggested that MRED arrays could provide stepping-stones for larval dispersal, mediating species range expansions or invasions. As common members of hard-substrate fouling …

Fatigue reliability assessment of co-located offshore wind and wave energy systems
Offshore renewable energy, generated from wind and waves is being increasingly considered in many parts of the world. The efficient and sustainable use of marine space and co-location of ocean infrastructure to meet several needs including energy generation, fishing, transportation, etc. is also …

Reviewing Mechanisms for Stakeholder Engagement With Local Governments During Offshore Wind Development
As new markets open to offshore wind (OSW) development, it is vital that OSW developers have the best possible resources to conduct successful stakeholder engagement activities with the governments of the local communities in proximity to their projects. This report is an examination of the …

A stakeholder-grounded evaluation of the seven functions model of technological innovation systems theory in UK offshore wind and marine renewables.
… a useful framework within which to consider energy transitions. The "seven functions" framework allows researchers to examine the progress of emergence of new technologies, but has not hitherto been tested for completeness and validity with stakeholders in an energy transition. The emergence …

Response of suction caissons in soft clay under vertical and horizontal loading for tidal energy converter applications
… dependence has driven the research and use of renewable energy sources both on and offshore. Of the available offshore renewable energy resources, the tidal current serves as a promising and consistent source of energy due to its dependence on the rotation of the earth and the orbit of both the …

Assessing Dynamic Seabed Change on the Scottish Continental Shelf
… fluid mechanics can reduce the lifespan of offshore construction by modifying the foundational stability for offshore projects such as wind turbines and subsea cables. Dunes represent wave-like bedforms that range in size and mobility. They are generated by the mobility of sediment forced by …

The siting of renewable energy developments in a crowded marine space
… for existing marine users who may be impacted by offshore renewable energy developments can be considered across three tenets, procedural, recognitional and distributional justice, and they will all influence whether a just transition is achieved. This thesis explores these dimensions of energy …

Synergistic design of a combined floating wind turbine - wave energy converter
Offshore energy machines have great potential: higher capacity factors, more available space, and lower visual impacts than onshore machines. This thesis investigates how combining a wave energy converter (WEC) with a floating wind turbine (FWT) may produce offshore renewable energy cost savings. …

Innovative hull design for servicing offshore wind turbines
… maintenance is a key operational issue for an offshore wind farm. Currently there is a 1.5m significant wave height (Hs) limit for the standard “step over” method of transferring personnel to an offshore wind turbine, though this varies with, vessel type, wave period and direction, as well as …
