Commercialisation and Cost of Energy – is the theme of the second day of the event and it will be separated in two tracks. Track I will cover the Technical and Supply Chain Development of tidal energy project and Track II will handle Installation issues.
In order to be able to drive the Tidal Energy industry forward there is a need to put certain building blocks and pillars in place so that they would act both as the foundation and the driving forces which will take the tidal industry forward. The topics that this section of the summit will cover involve:
The commercialization of Tidal energy and the challenges it faces, the advances in of tidal energy deployment and installation as well as the future of commercializing tidal energy are just a few of the topics that will be covered during the second day of the ITES2012. The cost of tidal energy is the second part of this the second day and it will cover aspects like developing platforms and converters which would halve the cost of tidal energy.
One of the highlights of ITES2012 event, are the International Tidal Energy Awards 2012. These awards are judged by renowned and impartial Tidal industry experts. The awards are open to all companies in the tidal energy industry and are considered to be very prestigious and attract media attention and exposure giving the awarded company an opportunity to promote the work it does and get to be known within the industry.
