Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ocean occupies more than 70% of the global area and is rich in energy. With the most potential energy, the ocean has the advantages of wide distribution and abundant storage. Wave and tide energy play a central role in the global transition toward green energy, contributing to mitigating climate change. In order to obtain power generation devices with high conversion efficiency, it is necessary to conduct in-depth and comprehensive research on the design optimization, hydrodynamic response, hydraulic power output system, array layout, coupling between floating body and platform, and parameter optimization of wave power generation devices. To reach reliable, high-performance, scalable, and sustainable engineering solutions to tidal energy, a more comprehensive investigation assessing tidal energy, turbulent inflows, tide and wave interactions, tidal turbine design and optimization, tidal array and blockage effects, and tidal wakes is essentially required. For these reasons, we invite submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on “New Design and Research on Offshore Wave and Tide Energy Technologies”.
This Special Issue aims to publish recent research advancements, technical challenges, and novel design methodologies related to the design and research of wave and tide energy technologies with respect to cutting-edge technology, as well as practical research on wave energy device design; research on device array parameters and algorithm optimization; the simulation of multi-body platform linkage; the assessment of tidal energy resources, tidal turbine design and optimization, tidal turbine hydrodynamics, tidal array and blockage effects, tidal wakes, etc. Classical issues regarding design, optimization, performance analysis, operation, and maintenance are greatly appreciated. They are particularly important for developing and designing efficient offshore renewable energy conversion devices.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Energies 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 2600 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.
