Project Abstract
Energy from renewable sources in Ireland has expanded by 8.9% in 2020. Nevertheless, Ireland has failed to meet the EU's 2020 renewable energy overall target. The total share of renewable energy was 13.5% against the target of 16%. A potential path to achieve this target is to explore hybrid production of energy. In this project, a revolutionary new design of stable and smaller wind/wave platforms is investigated to reduce cost and variability of electrical energy produced.
