Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition to renewable energy is critical to addressing climate change and meeting global energy needs. Wind, tidal, and wave power are emerging as key players in this transformation, offering sustainable solutions to harness the vast potential of marine and offshore resources. However, their development is challenged by technical, environmental, and economic factors, requiring innovative research and interdisciplinary approaches.
This Special Issue aims to highlight advancements in wind, tidal, and wave energy technologies by addressing key topics such as resource assessments, opportunities and challenges in technology development, numerical modeling and simulations of renewable energy devices, design load definitions for marine and offshore structures, control strategies, and grid integration. Additionally, this Special Issue will explore methods for evaluating and managing the risks and uncertainties in marine and offshore renewable energy systems.
Contributions should focus on improving the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of these energy systems while addressing the complexities of operating in dynamic and challenging offshore environments.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
