This book provides all the key information needed to design offshore structures for renewable
energy applications successfully. Suitable for practicing engineers and students the author
conveys design principles and best practices in a clear concise manner focusing on underlying
physics while eschewing complicated mathematical detail. The text connects underlying
scientific theory with industry standards and practical implementation issues for offshore wind
turbines wave energy converters and current turbines. Combined concepts such as wave-wind
energy platforms are discussed as well. Coverage of design codes and numerical tools ensures
the usefulness of this resource for all those studying and working in the rapidly expanding
field of offshore renewable energy.
