The Need for Green Engineering
In his keynote presentation, Ian Bell, UK & Ireland Market Development Manager for Industrial & Embedded, discusses the challenges and opportunities driving intense global investment and innovation for environmentally friendly products, technologies and processes. He introduces the concept of green engineering and highlights leading companies around the world that have adopted various techniques and technologies to achieve their goals.
Environmental Monitoring and Measurement Fundamentals
An essential theme for green engineering is "Measure It. Fix It." - measure the problem at hand to better understand how to fix it. Learn the fundamentals of collecting measurements using both hardware and software tools. Environmental monitoring is used as the main case study for this section, but these concepts may also be applied to other forms of green engineering.
Essential Wind, Wave and Tidal Energy Technology including Signal Processing Fundamentals
The increase in demand for renewable energy has led to the need for a scale-up in production of wind turbines through automation, as well as improved system reliability through innovations in signal processing. It is also driving the rapid development of wave and tidal stream devices. See how essential technologies for test, control and automation drive innovation in signal processing and help to make wind, wave and tidal energy more reliable.
