Electrical Machines for Marine Renewables
Nick Baker
Offshore wind is now well established with GW of installed capacity. Wave and tidal energy are alternative forms of marine energy which also have the potential to contribute to sustainable electricity generation. This comparatively immature technology operates at speeds at least an order of magnitude lower than that found in other sectors, posing unique challenges to the electrical power train.
Nick Baker is a reader at Newcastle University with a specialism in developing low speed and reciprocating electrical machines. In this talk, he will introduce the electrical challenges in the area of power take off in marine renewable energy and discuss some recent progress in academia and industry.
