Background
AWTEC is an international technical and scientific conference supported by EWTEC which is being recognized as a leader in the area of ocean and tidal renewable energy. The event will be a platform for engineers, researchers, experts to keep abreast of the current state-of-the-art advancements in ocean energy in a broad sense, ranging from wave energy, tidal energy, ocean thermal energy, ocean current energy, to offshore wind energy.
This Conference provides a forum to promote scientific advancement, technological progress, information exchange, and cooperation among engineers and researchers in ocean energy in an interdisciplinary spectrum. Relevant scientists, researchers and engineers are welcome to take advantage of this opportunity to submit and present their research work and/or industrial applications and interact with other experts in this challenging field.
The conference aims to:
- Wave and tidal energy resource characterization
- Device development and testing
- Device hydrodynamics and structural mechanics
- Device and environmental modeling
- Power take-off and device control
