Numerical and Experimental Modelling of Wave Energy Converters (2026)
Doctoral School of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University
Welcome to Numerical and Experimental Modelling of Wave Energy Converters (2026)
Description:
As part of the global transition toward renewable energy, wave energy stands out as a key contributor to the future energy mix. The study and analysis of wave energy converters (WECs) is a multidisciplinary and complex field that integrates multiple branches of engineering.
This course is designed to provide researchers entering the wave energy sector with a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts required to analyze various types of structures. In addition, it offers in-depth lectures on specialized topics such as control systems and numerical modeling.
Spanning two weeks (10 days), the course gradually guides participants from theoretical lectures to practical, hands-on exercises and laboratory experiments. By the end of the program, students will be able to optimize the power performance of a wave energy device in both numerical simulations and experimental setups.
