Research and development
Research and development represent a continuous cycle of innovation and improvement, enabling the O.W.C.M. project to remain competitive and offer ever-improving services.
In our case, research refers to the identification and acquisition of new knowledge, ideas, and information related to all issues concerning the power plant. This may involve the use of scientific methods or other methodologies for data collection and analysis, conducting tests or experiments, or studying documents or other sources of information.
Development, on the other hand, refers to the transformation of this knowledge into products, services, or processes. Therefore, the design and creation of new prototypes, along with the implementation of new processes and materials, are of utmost importance for the efficiency and effectiveness of a system that is always at the forefront and maintains high-quality standards.
The shape of the floats (toroidal or spherical) and the internal profile of the pipelines regarding water velocity.
The current generator (alternator) of the next-generation marine power plant (reduction of negative torque).
Materials (applications of graphene) suitable to reduce friction to a minimum.
Biocement (Roman) for zero impact on the environment.
For this reason, the design and creation of new prototypes, combined with the implementation of new processes and new materials, is extremely important for the efficiency and effectiveness of a system that is always cutting-edge and of high quality standards.
SUSTAINABILITY
In September 2015, at the United Nations General Assembly, countries around the world signed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The O.W.C.M. project has achieved 8 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In 2022, as part of the competition organized by Enactus Italia (a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring university students to improve the world through entrepreneurial action), the O.W.C.M. project won the award for the most innovative and most advanced renewable energy project: TRL 7 (Technology Readiness Level).
