Using Remote Sensing Data for Integrating different Renewable Energy Sources at Coastal Site in South Italy

Italian coastal sites have the advantage of favorable climatic conditions to use mixed renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind. Harbors are safe places to install wind turbines where wind conditions are almost offshore. Space-borne remote sensing can provide information to determine solar and wind energy production potential cheaper than usual observational activity to identify and assess suitable areas.

Here, we present a case study for both energy resources assessment from satellite in harbors.
