The European Union expects marine renewable energy to make a strong contribution to the renewable energy mix by 2050 (https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-and-innovation/research-area/energy-research-and- innovation / ocean-energy_en). The main characteristic of marine renewable sources is that they do not use soil, so naturally they are more accepted by communities, especially in Europe, where the population density is very high and there is a significant cultural and landscape heritage. The course aims to give an overview of the main marine sources, with emphasis on wave energy and offshore wind energy, the two most developing in the marine energy landscape.

The course deals with the following topics:
- Introduction to Marine Energy (Waves, currents, salinity and temperature gradients, offshore wind)
- Focus on Wave Energy:
1. Global overview of technology development, development, economics. Case study: the Mediterranean
2. Technology: Hydrodynamic interaction, Systems control
3. HIL and test tank experimentation
- Focus on offshore wind:
1. Current trends in the development of technology, markets, economy
2. mathematical modeling and systems functioning
Mixed mode
