Combined Exploitation of Offshore Wind and Wave Energy in the Italian Seas: A Spatial Planning Approach

The opportunity to co-locate wind and wave energy exploitation is analyzed in the Italian seas grounding on the rationale that benefits are greater when un-correlated resources are combined. The study shows that, although waves and winds are generally strongly correlated, in some conditions their co...
