The complexity represented by the marine applications needs numerous professional figures interconnected between each other and supported strongly by the most high-performing technologies. For this reason, the Center includes capabilities on advanced wave energy systems modelling for the design and evaluation of marine system and the definition of scenarios. The center also possess an HPC (High Performance Calculus) infrastructure to enhance and speed-up the modeling activities.
Together with the numerical modelling activity, the Center couple an intensive experimental activity, result of 15-years wide experience ranging from hardware in the loop testing activities to experimental tests in tanks both in the national and international landscape.
Most of activities are performed at MORE’s headquarters in Turin. There state of the art studies, modelling, simulations and test rig experiments are performed. Soon the Lab will equip itself with a wave tank for concepts (TRL 1-3).
When further tests are required, the Lab collaborates with large test facilities in Europe, in particular with Università di Napoli. For validation in operational environments, the Lab exploits its own test area in concession at Pantelleria.
