The Operating Environment
Alternative Energy systems in the marine environment
attempt to make use of large open areas of the near
coastal ocean to provide a base for installation of
multiple generating plants. These generating plants
take the form of offshore structures to support
windmills, subsea structures to support tidal current
generators and subsea moorings to support wave
generators. All of these generating systems are
designed to sustain an existence in an environment
identical to the offshore oil & gas industry.
