Course Contents

Course Description:
The course aims to provide students with the fundamental theoretical background for the course
‘ΥΔΡ017 Marine Renewable Energy Systems’. It includes the necessary material for understanding
computational modeling, analysis, and design of energy systems in a marine environment (offshore
wind turbines, wave energy converters), as well as computational simulation using appropriate
software codes.

Educational Goals

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
• Determine the marine wave and/or wind resources in coastal and offshore areas.
• Identify the structural elements of marine energy systems and assess their critical loading
conditions (hydrodynamic, aerodynamic).
• Calculate and evaluate energy production from marine energy systems.
• Design the basic structural infrastructure of marine energy systems.
• Develop and assemble computational models for the analysis of offshore wind turbines and
wave energy converters.
• Specify the requirements of computational codes for reliable coupled analysis of marine
energy systems.

General Skills

The course contributes to the following skills:
_Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information
_Adapting to new situations
_Decision-making
_Working independently
_Working in an interdisciplinary environment
_Project planning and management
_Respect for the natural environment
_Production of free, creative and inductive thinking

Teaching Methods

Face to face.

Use of ICT means

Learning process support (teaching and communication with
students) through PowerPoint lectures, through the online
course website, through the electronic e-learning platform
and through additional electronic communication with
students (online announcements and comments, emails,
etc.). Additional material (lecture presentations, educational
videos, useful sites, and scientific articles) posted on the elearning platform. Teacher-student collaboration time either
in person or via teleconference.

Students Evaluation

Evaluation Language: Greek
Written Examination with Extended Response Questions
(Formative and/or Conclusive) Theory Assessment (70% of the final grade):
• Written progress exam (10% of the final grade) which
includes:
o Extended Response Theoretical Questions (Formative
and/or Inferential)
o Solving problems-exercises
• Final written exam (60% of the final grade) which includes:
o Extended Response Theoretical Questions (Formative
and/or Inferential)
o Solving problems-exercises
Assignment Assessment (30% of the final grade):
• Written assignment
This course description text with the evaluation criteria is
accessible to students in the Department’s study guide
(Department website) and on the course’s website.
The outline is communicated orally to the students during
the first lecture.
