### Potential Assessment
installation costs increases with increase in the distance from the shore, mainly due to two related factors: water depth and cable cost [67]. Wind energy is the most popular type of renewable energy and its popularity is directly related to harmlessness. It is economical and environment friendly and can play an important role in reducing CO2, SOx and NOx [10]. Using satellites to monitor wind energy and analyze changes in offshore wind energy is crucial for installing wind farms and for observing large areas. Such analysis often requires case study data that are particularly important for developing accurate business models for working on new offshore wind farms, considering that their number is expected to dramatically increase in the following years. Weaknesses: The potential of Italy's OW energy source is outstanding in many places. The Italian government set a goal of 950 MW for OW by 2030 in its national energy and climate plan presented to the European Commission. Therefore, there are good strengths and opportunities for the Navy in Italy. However, the development of the Italian naval force is still at an early stage and still faces many challenges and threats. Government can set the strongest possible priorities for the future development of maritime zones in the best possible way with the clear and coherent maritime policies they adopt. Such policies should reflect specific goals aimed at establishing hydro power as a means of achieving some reduction in carbon dioxide and clean energy production [7]. Many offshore wind projects in Italy have been cancelled mainly due to lack of funding or opposition from local authorities and the small distances from shore. Moreover, many other projects are in a dormant state during the initial planning phase. OW farms continue to suffer from weaknesses, as prices within the OW power network were uncertain and so investment risk was higher. On the other hand, the development of OW power involved several parts such as planning conflicts between various departments and dealing with problems [91]. Large-scale wind turbines have become a mainstay of technology development in the world. Many countries declared that they were producing more wind turbines and the power plant was concentrated at eight megawatts to four megawatts [91]. Threats: Wind energy potential varies with the cube of wind speed, making minor changes to wind circulation patterns and severity will have a profound impact on future wind power generation. This indicates the sensitivity of wind energy which is related to climate change and future changes. Moreover, wind flow characteristics can also severely affect the ability of wind energy potential usage [92]. For example, a change in the year-to-year wind velocity impacts on electricity generation capability, and the higher the volatility, the more variable the power generation may be, which can cause problems in demand on the electricity grid. On the other hand, there is a decrease in the profitability of wind farms. Considering this parameter, this is an important issue for the economic feasibility of a wind farm having lifetime of about 20-25 years [92]. Climate change also affects other factors, such as water depth and distance at the coastal areas. The high cost of investment is one of the most important reasons limiting the development of OW farms construction. OW energy sector includes many professional expertise and institutions: the maritime department, the environmental protection agency, the fisheries and military departments. The coordination between them could be very difficult, especially during the planning and approval processes [91].
