OPERATE – Ocean energy resources assessment for Maldives

Per il raggiungimento degli obiettivi:
goal 7
goal 13
Recipient country: Maldives

Period: 2017-2020

Description

The project by ENEA is aimed at getting an accurate evaluation of the energy potential of sea currents in Maldives’ Archipelago. Thanks to the development and use of numerical models of the local currents circulation and current metric measurements, the most adequate sites to produce energy from the sea will be identified.

ENEA Activities:

  • Analysis of large-scale currents circulation around Maldives Islands, based on satellite and modelling data
  • Development of high-resolution modelling of currents circulation in Maldives’ Archipelago, where local higher-resolution models will be embedded to study the currents in the sites of greater interest (atolls).

Sectors
