Offshore Renewable Energy, Second Edition
This special issue belongs to the section “Ocean Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Offshore renewable energy is an abundant clean energy source. Its development and utilization will be beneficial for the development of a low-carbon economy and the achievement of energy-saving and emission reduction goals. It can achieve a complementary energy supply between land and sea, easing the pressure on conventional fossil energy resources in economically developed and energy-intensive coastal areas. The development of offshore renewable energy is a long-term process, but it is worth noting that, with the development and gradual maturity of various technologies, offshore renewable energy will be a mainstream new energy resource in the future. This Special Issue will provide updates regarding the development and utilization of offshore renewable energy. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, novel concepts, control strategies, modelling methods, intelligent equipment and monitoring technology applications.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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.
