Marine and Hydrokinetic Technology Instrumentation, Measurement, and Computer Modeling Workshop
The Marine and Hydrokinetic Technology (MHK) Instrumentation, Measurement, and Computer Modeling Workshop was hosted by the NREL in Broomfield, Colorado from July 9 – 10, 2012. The workshop brought together over 60 experts in marine energy technologies to disseminate technical information to the marine energy community and to collect information to help identify ways to accelerate a commercially viable marine energy industry.
