Author Information

Dr Alcorn is Executive Director at the Hydraulics and Maritime Research Centre at University College Cork, Ireland a centre which works exclusively on all aspects of applied research for wave tidal and offshore wind energy. He has been involved in ocean energy for the past 15 years starting as an undergraduate electrical engineer then post graduate with the Wave Power group at Queens University Belfast. He then moved on to positions in Industry working on design, development and deployment, and commissioning of full scale wave energy plants. Raymond was involved in the formation of the Irish Marine Renewables Industry Association (MRIA) of which he is currently its Secretary. Recently he has been an expert contributing to the International Energy Agency Ocean Energy Systems implementing agreement and the International Electro-technical Committee technical group developing standards for marine energy. Dara O'Sullivan is a senior post-doctoral research fellow at the Hydraulics and Maritime Research Centre at University College Cork leading a group working on electrical issues in ocean energy development, power conversion and control, motor control, and grid-integrated power electronics. He has also contributed to both the International Energy Agency Ocean Energy Systems implementing agreement and the International Electro-technical Committee technical group developing standards for marine energy with a strong focus on power systems and grid connectivity. He has also been instrumental in developing the first dynamic grid modelling tool for wave and tidal energy systems.
