MORE - Marine Offshore Renewable Energy Team Details
The MORE - Marine Offshore Renewable Energy team - is a group of researchers from CIMA - Centre for Marine and Environmental Research from University of Algarve, Portugal. Our research focus is on support the optimization of different types of marine renewable technologies to produce energy from the ocean processes. We aim on creating new tools and methods to quantify the marine energy resources; and study the effects of exploitation of energy in marine ecosystems, using and testing full-scale prototypes and keeping a strong partnership with the industry.We have competences on energy resource evaluation, environmental impact assessment, oceanographic data collection, numerical modelling and performance of vibration, ultrasounds and thermography analysis.FUNDED RESEARCHIF - Exploring new concepts for extracting energy from tides (funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology FCT- IF2014/00286) - Started on 1st April 2015 (PI - André Pacheco);SCORE - Sustainability of using Ria Formosa Currents On Renewable Energy production (funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology FCT - PTDC/AAG-TEC/1710/2014) - Started on 1st July 2016 (PI - André Pacheco);WATTAGE - Workability Aspects of Tidal Turbine Arrays on producing Green Energy (OceanEra Joint Call 2014) - Start schedule for 1st June 2017 (PI - André Pacheco);OpTiCA - Optimisation of Tidal Energy Converter Arrays (H2020-Marie SkŁodowska-Curie Actions -Individual Fellowship - 2016) - Starts on the 1st July 2017 (PI - Eduardo Gorbeña);MONITOR - Multi-model investigation of tidal energy converter reliability (Interreg Atlantic Area 2017) - Starts on the 1st November 2017 (Task Leader- André Pacheco);
