In recent years, in Europe, there has been a great development of renewable energies, in order to reduce the emission of pollutants, increase the transition to cleaner energy sources and the decarbonization process. Of all the most promising renewable energy sources, wind energy is one of the most widespread (about 20% of total electricity generation) and the related electricity production is growing steadily. While onshore wind is already well developed and the major potential sites are already occupied by pre-existing power plants, the same cannot be said for offshore wind. The potential of the offshore wind resource, characterized by winds with higher productivity and availability than onshore ones, would make it possible to cover enormous energy needs by limiting further land use.
