=CEE 299S, Summer 2009= = An Independent Study on Offshore Renewables = //Prof Anthony R. Kovscek// //Prashant Sharma//

The aim of this Summer study is to look into as many objectives as possible outlined below: 1) Different structural systems (fixed, submersible, floating, spar, TLP, monopod, etc.) available/possible to support the offshore renewable systems. Also establish advantages and disadvantages of each supporting system. 2) Areas around US / American continent predicted to show accelerated offshore renewable energy development. 3) Construction/fabrication cost data, transportation and installation alternatives (marine equipment required, etc.). 4) Fabrication yard requirements, current sample viable fabrication yards.

== = = = = =CEE 299S, Autumn 2009= = Challenges For Offshore Wind Energy Projects With a Focus On Deep Offshore Wind Energy = //Prof Anthony R. Kovscek// //Prashant Sharma//

The independent study was continued in the Autumn of 2009 and the intent was to discuss the challenges faced by offshore wind energy projects with a focus on the deep offshore wind projects. The report focused on 3 objectives outlined below: I. The Offshore wind advantage II. Challenges for deep offshore wind projects III. Sample deep offshore wind projects
