  1. Marine Current Modelling For Energy Production Group 4 – Marine Energy Kirsten Hamilton Product Design Engineering Malcolm MacDonald Product Design Engineering Tom McCombes Aeronautical Engineering James Glynn Mechanical Engineering

  2. Current Project Definition • Investigate the characteristics and quantify the tidal resources in Scotland and demonstrate how to match those resources with the appropriate Marine current technology

  3. Tasks Stage 1 - Investigation • Resources • Technology Stage 2 - Analysis • Methodology • Case study • Costing analysis

  4. Stage 1 - Investigation • Resource Investigation • Identify Current Data Weaknesses • Extract Relevant MCT Data • Extrapolation and Interpolation of data to increase resolution of Data mapping • Develop Higher Resolution Dynamic 3-Dimensional Modelling of the Marine Bathymetric Environment • Technology assessment • Generic Modelling • Industrial feasible Technologies • Oceanographic & Hydrodynamic Suitability

  5. Stage 2 - Analysis • Methodology • Develop a frame work to access each technology suitability for each resource characteristic • Case study • Demonstrate the implementation of this methodology for a Scottish North West Coast site • Costing analysis • Concurrently Performing Enviro-economic feasibility studies

  6. Deliverables • Resource Feasibility Layered Mapping • Produce Tool & Framework for Resource Technology Matching • Case Study
