44 MARINE RESEARCH PROJECTS 4.4 MARINE RENEWABLE ENERGY
Expertise for the Marine Renewable Energy thematic area resides in the Hydraulics and Maritime Research Centre (HMRC). The HMRC is centre of excellence within Ireland for Ocean Renewables and Coastal Engineering providing support to the maritime industry as well as fundamental R&D. It currently has a staff of 35 and comprises postdoctoral researchers, engineers and PhDs across a range engineering and other disciplines, from hydrodynamics, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering to marine law and economics. The HMRC houses the only facilities for wave simulation in Ireland with a Wave Flume and an Ocean Wave Basin and was designated as the National Ocean Test Facility in 2009. There are also several electrical and mechanical test rigs for linear actuation, turbine test and pneumatic emulation. These facilities have recently undergone a €2.5m upgrade, giving them state-of-the-art capabilities. The Centre also has its own supercomputing facilities as well as a suite of numerical modelling packages, both industry standard and bespoke. Electrical grid research involves the production of commercial, dynamic, grid-connect models for ocean wave and tidal systems. The Centre has provided research services to device developers in this area from all over the world. Over 25 different concepts have been tested with developers from Ireland, U.K., Denmark, Portugal, Netherlands, U.S.A., Japan and Australia. Device testing at prototype scale (connection of 1MW prototypes at sea) is also underway, investigating the electrical issues, environmental impact and economics. The HMRC / National Ocean Test Facility will transfer to the new UCC Beaufort Research Laboratory within the IMERC campus at Ringaskiddy in 2014.
