Write an annotated bibliography* on the civil engineering challenges pertaining to the deployment of water-based energy conversion technologies. Choose one from: tidal energy, wave energy, hydroelectricity and ocean wind turbines.This is to be no more than 1500 words (including the exec summary). It is to outline the current civil engineering state of the art and challenges still to overcome, with regard to the technology deployment. Depending upon the technology and location of the energy conversion devices, these can be both offshore and, on the shoreline,). This is going to require a literature review of industrial, professional (ICE/IStrutE etc publications) as well as journal and conference papers. It is to be succinct.
Close the submission with an executive summary of no more than 500 as to what your literature review suggests for the potential/continued deployment of this technology – in terms of economic and environmental risk.
