About the Webinar:
The
Marine Energy industry is an important, and rapidly developing, segment
of the global marketplace for clean, renewable energy. Based on the
emergence of the industry, the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) began Technical Committee (TC) 114, “Marine energy - Wave, tidal
and other water current converters” to prepare International Standards
for marine energy conversion systems. In addition to the efforts
underway on TC114, the IEC recently approved the creation of a new
Conformity Assessment (CA) System, entitled the IEC Renewable Energy
(IECRE) System. The IECRE System currently includes Solar Photovoltaic
(TC82), Wind Energy (TC88) and Marine Energy (TC114) and is actively
working to develop Certification Schemes for these industries. This
presentation will include an overview of the Marine Energy industry as
well as an update on critical activities currently underway at the IEC
and within the US to develop Standards and Certification Schemes for
Marine Energy and the Renewable Energy sector overall.
LEVEL: Beginner
