After selection of a certain typology for the Modular Island with the respective sustainable energy systems used, and of the data related to the location and the environmental conditions, a Resilience Analysis should be performed for the project under investigation. The Trainees will be divided into 4 groups and each group should work independently from the others. Each group will be supervised by at least one Trainer. Students should have their own computers with them.

The Training School activity shall address the Resilience Assessment of Modular Floating Energy Islands through the development of a methodology for floating structures in a particular context and site. The approach is based on the development of a framework through a methodology based on Resilience Indicators.

The framework refers to multiple criteria decision methods (MCDMs). In the first stage, site specific criteria can be analysed relying on GIS database applications; acceptance and exclusion criteria need to be defined. In the second stage an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is adopted based on technical, economic, environmental, social and governance attributes. The main objective is the assessment of the resilience of the installation of Modular floating Energy Islands based on multi-criteria analysis. A risk assessment methodology shall then be applied to define the key risk and mitigation actions. It leads to an objective overview of floating offshore modular Islands, the infrastructure and site selection and the contribution to minimize the environmental impacts, to reduce the social conflicts between stakeholders and review critical technical and engineering criteria.
