Abstract
Abstract: MARINET is one of the key initiatives under the"EU-FP7 Infrastructures" framework dedicated to the development of technologies for the exploitation of clean and renewable energy from the oceans. The project has made possible to establish a network of experts and leading European infrastructures for testing and developing devices for wave, tidal and offshore wind energy harvesting. Thanks to the "Trans-national Access" funding scheme, this project has supported dozens of R&D activities addressing new technologies. CNR-INSEAN contributes with experimental studies carried out in its wave tank and circulating water channel facilities where large-sized models can be tested under conditions that are closely representatives of device operation in a real marine environment.. R&D activities are also aimed at enhancing the comprehension of mechanisms of energy transfer and the development of new testing techniques.
