Marine Renewable Energy Short Course at OMAE 2012
Course Overview:
There is great awareness in our community of the potential for renewable energy from the oceans. Common sources of energy considered are: wind, wave, tide, and ocean thermal gradient. Large energy companies have developed a renewable energy portfolio and are exploring development options.
Recent technology focus has been towards application of floating structure technology for marine renewable energy. What are the challenges in such technology development? In this course, we will provide an overview of common energy sources, fundamentals of floating renewable energy development concepts, and highlight ongoing developments. We will form teams and explore a case study of a renewable energy application. At the end of the course we will develop a basic floating structure concept design using spreadsheet tools.
Course Topics:
• Introduction to oceanographic processes and energy sources
• Energy quantification and extraction efficiency
• Wind energy conversion systems and new concepts
• Wave energy conversion systems
• Tidal energy conversion systems
• Ocean Thermal Energy converters (OTEC)
• Novel applications
Course Objectives:
At the end of this course you will be able to…
• Explain the origin and sources for marine renewable energy
• Appreciate the potential of wave, wind, tidal and OTEC energy sources
• Explain key floating development concepts for marine renewable energy
• Conduct basic screening and sizing of a floating structure for renewable energy application
All registration fees are in Brazilian Reais. USD costs are accurate at the time of conversion but may vary per conversion rates at time of purchase. (Fees include Professional Course Guide)
Early Bird ASME Member (through April 30, 2012) : $645 USD / R$ 1100
Early Bird Non-ASME Member (through April 30, 2012) : $745 USD / R$ 1275
Course Attendees:
This course is intended for mechanical, civil, ocean engineers and naval architects, working in traditional energy areas, who are interested in extending their activities into renewable energy applications. Young engineers in particular may benefit from the conceptual overview and hands on approach of this course.

31st International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE)
To the members and supporters of the Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering Division of ASME and the OMAE conference:
The OMAE Conference will move 3 weeks later and now be held July 1-6, 2012 at the same venue, the Windsor Barra in Rio.
Due to the recent re-scheduling of a United Nations Sustainability Conference (55,000+ attendees) in Rio de Janeiro in close proximity to the original date of the OMAE 2012 conference, the OOAE Executive Committee announced a change in the date of their flagship conference.
The Committee regrets the necessity of this move, but due to the strain on the Rio transportation system and acts of the Brazilian government with respect to accommodations, there was no option but to delay the conference.
More information and continuous updates are available on the OMAE 2012 conference website, www.omae2012.com
Thanks for your support of the OMAE conference! We welcome you to Rio and hope you will enjoy this beautiful city in its normal daily life.
Subsea Equipment Short Course at OMAE 2012
Course Overview:
Offshore production depends on subsea equipment and structures that must ensure the transfer of fluids between production units at sea level and wellheads at sea bottom. The understanding of such facilities is the base of the subsea engineer formation.
• Subsea field development
• Marine production Units
• Subsea Distribution Systems
• Subsea control
• Subsea Power Supply
• Subsea Manifolds
• Subsea Connections and Jumpers
• Subsea Wellheads and Trees
At the end of this course you should be able to:
• Identify the types of equipments employed to subsea oil and gas production;
• Understand the basic operation and the main components of subsea equipments;
• Have the capability to select the design parameters of a subsea production system;
• Be aware of the new frontiers in terms of subsea equipments.
Course Fees:
All registration fees are in Brazilian Reais. USD costs are accurate at the time of conversion but may vary per conversion rates at time of purchase. (Fees include Professional Course Guide)
Early Bird ASME Member (through April 30, 2012) : $645 USD / R$ 1100
Early Bird Non-ASME Member (through April 30, 2012) : $745 USD / R$ 1275
Regular Registration ASME Member (after April 30, 2012): $695 USD / R$ 1200
Regular Registration Non-ASME Member (after April 30, 2012): - $795 USD / R$ 1375
The course is suggested to engineers and technicians that would like to be involved in activities related to maritime oil and gas production. It is also important to allow that the professional can recognize new opportunities of future personal evolution in subsea engineering.
