Abstract
Abstract To fight against climate change and encourage the energy transition, the adoption of renewable energy sources is essential. Among the most widespread in recent years is the wind energy, both onshore and offshore. While the onshore production is currently the most consolidated and reliable solution due to a long experience, the immense potential of offshore energy production is not yet fully exploited. Offshore production would benefit from greater wind availability, allowing for the construction of wind farms with larger turbines and thus ensuring significantly higher productivity compared to onshore. Additionally, offshore production does not consume land and does not generate acoustic pollution, driving research and investments in the offshore sector.
In the context of offshore production, Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) seem to promise significant advantages over more consolidated Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs), which are the absolute leaders in the onshore market
