The Future of Wave and Tidal Energy is Dictated By the Development of New and State of the Art Processes

There are clearly certain elements of fluid machinery devices that are technologically state of the art and are paving the way to new developments in wave and tidal energy. This seminar deals with the latest advances and innovations offering an international spectrum of speakers discussing facets including large structures, linear generators and unique testing methods/standards.

(PRWEB) March 13, 2005 -- There is currently much R&D activity related to wave energy and recent research by The Carbon Trust highlighted the potential for the UK to become a global leader in this field. Over and above its R&D involvement, the UK has considerable exploitable natural resources and significant indigenous human capital.

The forthcoming IMechE symposium ‘Fluid Machinery for Wave and Tidal Energy: State of the Art and New Developments’ will present some of the more promising wave and tidal technology including associated engineering challenges, from the design stage right through to grid connection. Delegates will be exposed to state of the art components in this emerging market and network with other industry professionals, creating business opportunities in the manufacture, deployment and operation of these devices.

The Symposium is guaranteed to appeal to researchers, engineers, offshore engineering companies, the electricity supply industry, power industries, wave, tidal stream and renewable energy companies. Wave and tidal energy is potentially the next big thing in renewables. Britain’s maritime heritage, our experience in renewable energy, combined with our innovation skills mean there is the potential for Britain to take an international lead in the development of these technologies. The event will raise the profile of Wave and Tidal power, bringing people up to date with the rapid advances and showing what opportunity exists for the UK to build an industry with international markets. Engineering will be the key to the success of the technologies and so the event will ensure Britain’s engineers are at the fore.

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) has secured some of the most prestigious figures in Wave and Tidal energy to demonstrate their state of the art and innovative techniques and devices. The symposium takes place at IMechE Headquarters, One Birdcage Walk, Westminster, London on the 19 October 2005. Tickets are predicted to be in great demand due to the high profile nature of this topic and early registration is recommended.
