Descrizione del progetto
Il Portogallo passa all’energia eolica in mare
L’energia eolica in mare aperto è un settore industriale emergente in Portogallo. Un ulteriore sviluppo potrebbe supportare il 25 % del fabbisogno elettrico annuale del paese, incrementare le esportazioni e aumentare l’occupazione nel settore. La strategia industriale per le energie oceaniche rinnovabili (EI-ERO), approvata di recente dal governo, intende sviluppare il potenziale dell'eolico in mare del Portogallo. Il progetto TWIND, finanziato dall’UE, creerà una rete di scienziati e formatori specializzati nell’energia rinnovabile in mare aperto, che fornirà supporto all’ascesa dell’industria eolica del Portogallo in mare. Il progetto sarà condotto dal portoghese WavEC in coordinamento con partner specializzati in Spagna, Paesi Bassi e Regno Unito.
Obiettivo
The Portuguese Government has approved the Industrial Strategy for Ocean Renewable Energies (EI-ERO) with the aim of developing the country’s offshore wind potential. According to EI-ERO, offshore renewable energies have the potential to supply 25% of the electricity consumed annually in Portugal and create a new export chain in these new technologies. The government envisages that potential exports in this field could increase up to ten times the current employment in the active sectors, with the greatest potential for exports seen in the development of the floating wind technology.
The overall objective of TWIND is to create a network of excellence that will dynamize a pool of specialized research professionals and trainers in the domain of offshore wind energy to support an emerging industry in Portugal in a field with a very strong anticipated growth and no dedicated existing training curriculum.
WavEC will be the pivot research institution of the low performing Member State (Portugal) coordinating efforts with internationally-leading counterparts at the EU level (Spain, UK and The Netherlands) and enhancing its excellence and innovation capacity through the exchange of knowledge with these leading research organizations. The combining capabilities of partners will open the grounds to exploit existing research results and invest in developing more knowledge.
These objectives will be fulfilled through a set of strategic activities well-structured throughout the project including specific training programmes on thematic topics, short-term scientific meetings, long-term staff visits, networking meetings, attendance to relevant conferences in the field, knowledge transfer workshops with stakeholders and an annual event.
The networking activities and exchange of knowledge will stimulate research activities and highly qualified services that impact the economy and the society, thus benefitting not only WavEC and the partner organisations, but in general Portugal.
