About This Topic
1. Background and Rationale
Marine renewable energy has emerged as a critical pillar in the global transition toward sustainable, carbon-neutral energy systems. Offshore wind, wave, tidal, floating solar PV, and hybrid marine energy systems represent rapidly advancing fields with substantial potential for large-scale clean power generation. Recent technological developments—such as next-generation floating platforms, AI-enhanced control systems, advanced energy storage, and smart offshore-grid integration—have significantly improved the technical and economic viability of marine energy systems. Furthermore, global initiatives toward blue economy development, decarbonization, and sustainable offshore infrastructure have accelerated research interest in this domain. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality original research, review papers, and advanced case studies focused on the latest scientific and technological innovations in marine renewable energy.
2. Aim of the Special Issue
The goal of this Special Issue is to showcase cutting-edge contributions that advance marine renewable energy technologies, improve offshore system reliability, reduce cost, enhance environmental sustainability, and accelerate real-world deployment. The Special Issue will serve as a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers in renewable energy engineering, ocean engineering, offshore systems, smart grids, optimization, power electronics, and energy economics.
3. Scope
This Special Issue focuses on recent advancements and innovative approaches in marine renewable energy systems. Submissions are invited that address technological, operational, economic, and environmental challenges associated with offshore and near-shore energy harvesting. Topics include novel designs for offshore wind, tidal, wave, and floating solar PV systems; hybrid offshore renewable platforms; modeling, simulation, and optimization of marine energy systems; advanced control strategies; integration of marine energy into smart grids; offshore hydrogen production; energy storage solutions; and life-cycle assessment of marine technologies.
Additionally, contributions that explore multi-energy systems, AI-based fault detection, offshore energy forecasting, environmental impact mitigation, and innovative materials for marine applications are encouraged. The Special Issue aims to advance understanding of how marine energy technologies can be economically viable, environmentally responsible, and technically robust, paving the way for future large-scale deployment.
