Design of a multi-use marine area off-shore the Mediterranean Sea

The existing pressures on coastal areas are prompting the off-shore transfer of economic activities such as aquaculture, transportation, tourism, energy, leading to new challenges for sustainable use sea and calling integration different in same area. This paper conceptually designs a multi-use area mild sea, whose purpose is setup an energetically self-sustained fish farm. climate conditions aquaculture renewable energy production assessed first. features farm then designed, well system offering power support. A dedicated tool presented adopted set-up sizing electrical required stabilisation supply case not grid-connected. layout payback time finally examined, showing that wave systems still far make installation economically competitive.
