The aim of EFFICIENTSHIP project is to evaluate the performance of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system on a fishing vessel. The acquisition of physical parameters of the engine system it is a key element to reach this task and a data logger was developed to simultaneously collect information from several devices. The system is composed by a Raspberry unit that is connected to the devices equipped onboard (i.e. GPS, torsiometer, fuel consumption measurements device) by several types of connection and communication protocols (RS232, Modbus via TCP or RTU). The EMS is the software that allows the management of all data acquired by the central units. The system was test and optimized in order to ensure a high reliability during data acquisition.

The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
