The lab works on developing technologies for floating offshore wind power and ocean thermal energy conversion.
AboutAbout the lab
Bringing ocean energy into practical use
The Ocean Energy Resources Engineering Lab is advancing technology development (research toward practical application) for floating offshore wind power and floating ocean thermal energy conversion.
The potential of offshore wind energy is enormous, and with carbon neutrality by 2050 as the goal, full-scale deployment is about to move forward in Japan as well.
Looking overseas, ocean thermal energy conversion also has extremely large potential.
The lab belongs to the Marine Systems Design Chair of the Marine Systems Engineering Division.
Key terms
- Floating offshore wind power
- A method of generating electricity with wind turbines mounted on structures that float on the sea.
- Ocean thermal energy conversion
- A method of generating electricity by using the temperature difference between the surface and deep layers of the sea.
- Mooring structure
- A system that holds a floating structure in place so that it is not carried away.
ResearchResearch themes
Japan is a country with few natural resources, but the seas around it hold a variety of ocean energy resources. The lab advances technology development (research toward practical application), mainly for floating offshore wind power and floating ocean thermal energy conversion.
*Illustrative imageTechnology development for floating offshore wind power
For floating offshore wind power facilities, the lab works on developing design tools, research on mooring structures, and research on structural monitoring.
*Illustrative imageDesign of floating ocean thermal energy conversion
Focusing on ocean thermal energy conversion carried out on floating facilities, the lab studies the dynamic response of such facilities and methods for designing them.
