Three Renewable Sources In Port At Marina Di Pisa
In a world seeking increasingly sustainable solutions, the Seares company has launched a revolutionary initiative: the “Sun, Wind, Sea” project. This ambitious project aims to harness three renewable sources–sun, wind and wave–to produce energy within marinas, thus ensuring an environmentally friendly and innovative approach to maritime energy management.
Using solar panels, micro-wind system, and the Seadamp FX, a mooring device that harnesses wave motion, Seares has created a system that, under the best conditions, can generate power from all three sources simultaneously. This solution not only reduces dependence on fossil fuels but also minimizes the environmental impact of ports.
The Port of Marina di Pisa was the scene of this transformation, becoming a model of how ports can actively contribute to environmental protection. Here, the system was implemented with the construction of a Single Point Mooring, a small buoy that, stabilized by the Seadamp FX system, acts as a hub for the integration of renewable energy. This installation not only provides clean energy but also energy autonomy for port facilities such as, for example, technical rooms or electric mobility charging stations.
The latest advancement of the project has seen the installation of a load cell in the buoy mooring line so as to monitor the forces at play and and and acquire data critical for the production of the final Seadamp FX that will be installed by the close of the boating season and opposably made for the specific needs of the port. This step represents the penultimate phase of the project, bringing it close to the
