Minimisation of the offshore wind and tidal turbine acoustic footprint on marine life
For renewable energies to be sustainable in the future, their impact and harmful effects on the environment should be minimum. Recent evidences suggest that offshore wind and tidal turbines can have an acoustic damaging impact on marine life, due to the sustained generation of noise, which propagates very efficiently underwater. Off-coustics combines numerical simulations and experiments to provide insights into the physics governing the aero/hydro-acoustic generation and propagation for offshore wind and tidal farms. Control of these physics will enable the design of silent offshore farms enabling renewable energy with zero acoustic impact. First, I propose to develop a novel…
