Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine energy conversion technologies have been extensively researched over the past two decades to improve their reliability and techno-economic performance for utility scale electric grid market applications. This Special Issue aims to survey new frontiers for these technologies, including alternative market applications that can power the blue economy (PBE) and far offshore wind (FARWIND) technologies such as autonomous energy ships that can harness the largest wind energy resources on the planet.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish the most exciting research with respect to the above subjects, provide a rapid turn-around time regarding reviewing and publishing, and disseminate articles freely for research, teaching, and reference purposes.
Studies presenting novel techniques are welcome. High-quality papers are encouraged for publication, directly related to the following various aspects:
Topics—marine energy conversion technologies for PBE and FARWIND applications
- Resource attributes;
- Techno-economic performance;
- Regulatory and environmental compliance;
- Environmental conditions;
- Case studies.
