The University of Malta will be hosting the third international Offshore Energy and Storage Symposium (OSES 2016) to be held at the Valletta Campus between 13 and 15 July. This year’s event is being coordinated by the University’s Faculty of Engineering and Institute for Sustainable Energy, in collaboration with the Universities of Edinburgh, Nottingham, Leeds and Windsor (Canada).
This annual symposium provides a platform for academics, industry and policy makers from around the world to share the latest research and technology developments in marine-based sustainable energy technologies, addressing both offshore renewable energy generation and energy storage. This year’s event will include more than 75 presentations with authors coming from 18 different countries, including the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, China, South Korea and Malta. Session topics will include offshore wind energy, wave and tidal power, offshore solar power, underwater compressed air and pumped-hydro storage technologies, thermal energy storage, new concepts and grid integration of energy storage facilities.
The local organisation committee includes Prof. Tonio Sant, Prof. Robert Ghirlando, Ing. Robert Farrugia and Ing. Daniel Buhagiar, supported by the University of Malta’s Conference Unit.
