Research team for the application of renewable energy sources in maritime affairs

research team follows the trends in new technologies for the exploitation of renewable energy sources and explores the ways of applying these technologies in area of maritime affairs. The new technologies include solar energy application, fuel cells, wind capturing, mechanical energy from the motion of tides and waves.  The team investigates the production of energy from renewable resources, its distribution, storage and transformation, as well as its use for ship's propulsion and drive of other marine systems. The main goal is to investigate the impact of certain parameters on energy efficiency in maritime transport (in particular the impact of renewable energy sources) to contribute to the sustainable development of ports and marinas. Optimisation in energy production by applying different energy sources (especially renewable) aims to make the marine system sustainable. The research achieved can contribute to the proposal to develop strategies and organisational parts of maritime organisations, in particular ports and marinas in terms of sustainable development
