Overview

Personal Profile

Stein Housner is a floating offshore energy system engineer with a primary research focus on the modeling and design of mooring systems and floating platforms for offshore systems. He develops design tools for individual systems, or arrays of systems, and uses them to perform various design studies and optimizations to minimize the cost of energy. At NREL, he has worked on shared mooring systems for large-scale floating offshore wind deployment and wave energy converters, the assessment and initial design of floating systems in ultradeep water, and the platform and mooring system design of tidal energy systems.
