Global Marine Renewable Energy Conference
Road warriors take note: Sound and Sea Technology, Inc. has graciously offered to host a “Spouse and Significant Other” track during the conference. Bring your significant other to the conference and Sound and Sea will provide them with a tour of Seattle while we work on the nuts and bolts of getting ocean renewable technologies into the water. Space is limited, so Register today! Registered Spouses are also invited to join us at the Welcome Reception at 5:30 Tuesday, April 13 and the April 14 Conference Reception.

Tour Seattle with Sound and Sea Technology
Looking to add even more to your trip to Seattle? Garrad Hassan offers two courses that can further supplement your experience at GMREC.
Both courses from Garrad Hassan are being held at The Edgewater Hotel, located at 2411 Alaskan Way ~ Pier 67.
Introduction to Tidal Stream Energy Conversion (April 13, 2010)
This one day course will be held prior to the 3rd Annual Global Marine Renewable Energy Conference.
This course will provide a detailed overview of the fundamental principles behind the main technological solutions to convert tidal stream ocean energy into electricity will be given, along with the key methodologies to evaluate the tidal resource, device site suitability and device performance and loading. In addition, hydrodynamic modelling techniques (both numerical and experimental), a review of the different leading concepts and an account of the industry’s progress to full-scale deployment will also be covered.
Mat Thomson will lead the training. Mat has five years experience in this field, in both technology development and resource assessment and in the development of design tools.
Introduction to Wave Energy Conversion (April 16, 2010)
This one day course will be held the day after the 3rd Annual Global Marine Renewable Energy Conference.
This course is designed for professionals who wish to increase their knowledge of wave energy and wave energy conversion technologies. A detailed overview of the fundamental principles behind the main technological solutions to convert ocean wave energy into electricity will be given, along with the key methodologies to evaluate both wave and device data. In addition, hydrodynamic modelling techniques (both numerical and experimental), details of several power conversion mechanisms and an account of full-scale real seas experience to date will also be covered.
João Cruz will lead the training. João has six years experience in this field, recently edited one of the first textbooks on wave energy and heads up Garrad Hassan’s Wave Energy team.
