Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine hydrokinetic energy in the form of offshore winds, waves, tides, and ocean currents is a significant source of renewable energy. The challenges in harnessing this energy for electricity with sufficient efficiency for it to be a viable resource motivates research and innovation in design and development of requisite devices. The purpose of this invited Special Issue is to publish exciting research in support of development of novel high-performance technologies for harnessing marine renewable energy and to provide a rapid turn-around time regarding reviewing and publishing, and to disseminate the articles freely for research, teaching, and reference purposes.
High quality papers directly related to the following topics in support of novel system designs and techniques for performance enhancement with respect to levelized cost of energy (LCOE), electricity production, peak to average absorbed power ratio, power to weight ratios and related metrics are encouraged.
- Offshore wind turbine systems
- Wave energy conversion devices
- Tidal and ocean current conversion devices
- Power takeoff designs
- Conceptual device designs
- Material selection for devices
- Device control systems
- Design of device arrays
- Numerical performance modeling
- Improvements in device components

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.
