Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since our cave-dwelling ancestors first tamed the power of fire, the development and utilization of new energy resources has always been a crucial part of human activities. The issue of how to fulfil global energy demands while mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change has attracted significant attention and is of great concern. After continuous exploration and research, offshore renewable energy resources have demonstrated their potential as a promising substitute for fossil fuels. For the floating wave–wind energy converter plants, wind turbines and wave energy converters can share a single set of power transmission systems and grid-connection equipment, significantly reducing power transmission costs and equipment construction costs. The joint development of offshore wind and wave energy can drive the iterative upgrading of wave energy development technologies with the relatively mature floating wind turbine technology. In addition, relevant engineering vessels and professionals can be shared during the construction and subsequent operation and maintenance of the power plant, thereby reducing engineering construction and maintenance costs.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers that present recent research advances related to all aspects of floating wave–wind energy converter plants. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Joint development of wind and wave energy;
- Innovative concepts and technologies;
- Multi-body hydrodynamic modelling and simulations;
- Coupled dynamics and control;
- Prediction of extreme response and loads on floating structures;
- Structural design of floating wave–wind energy converters;
- Model testing of floating wave–wind energy converter;
- AI-technology applications in floating wave–wind energy converter;
- Nonlinear and viscous effects on hydrodynamic performance.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
