Experimental and numerical investigations on renewable energies at CNR-INSEAN: Challenges and future perspectives

he exploitation of renewable energies from the oceans requires an interdisciplinary approach to solve all the problems linked to a hostile environment and to the need to limit the frequency of operations and maintenance processes. The development of renewable energies from the sea relies not only on classical mechanical, electrical, electronics, control and systems engineering but also on material engineering and on hydrodynamics and fluid structure interaction science. CNR-INSEAN contributes to the latter two
