One of the ways to recover this gap is surely knowing precisely what energy potential our waters contain, an objective to which the European project POWERED , acronym for Project of Offshore Wind Energy: Research, Experimentation, Development, is contributing today . Co-funded by the IPA Adriatic cross-border cooperation project, POWERED has as its purpose the assessment of the wind resources of the Adriatic Sea and the implementation of a of wind measurement stations with characteristics that comply with the determination of the producibility of electricity from wind sources, which will remain active until 2019. In other words, the aim will be to activate a short-term weather forecasting system (24-48 hours) that helps in the evaluation of the energy that can be produced by any offshore wind farms built in the Adriatic Sea. The first of the seven anemometric measurement stations planned was completed yesterday at Micoperi Marine Contractors in Ravenna. The equipment was installed on a former flare tower located inside the headquarters of the Ravenna-based company, which is one of the partners in the project. Monitoring is guaranteed on 4 different measurement planes, starting from 4 meters above the ground and ending at over 100 meters; this allows to determine with high accuracy also the wind profile in the vicinity of the installation tower. The work of the POWERED Project also includes thedefinition of the guidelines common to the territories bordering the Adriatic , to streamline the bureaucratic and administrative procedures that precede the construction phase of the plants, but also to regulate their construction. "The project - explains the head of the scientific committee, Prof. Engineer Renato Ricci , professor at the Polytechnic University of Marche - aims to define 'good practices', that is, the actions to be taken to effectively plan the construction of an offshore wind farm . Which must be planned and cannot be managed like a wind farm on land, because there are issues related to ship traffic lines, environmental, social problems, etc. And leaving room for the single initiative does not work. Here, in this sense Powered has faced all the problems and brought out all the possibilities related to the construction of an offshore wind farm ».
