Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the processes of energy transition towards more efficient, sustainable, and flexible models in power systems, many countries have turned their attention to marine energy, particularly as a complement to other energy sources. The viability of these new energy sources depends on various factors: technological development, the availability of a good energy resource, the absence of other types of energy resources or very high electricity costs, or the business model chosen for their exploitation.
However, marine energy faces the challenge of an extremely harsh environments in marine settings, which compromises the economic feasibility of projects. This field therefore demands scientific and technological development in several areas: the advancement of more efficient energy capture devices, materials and processes that enable more robust systems to withstand adverse weather conditions, environmentally friendly systems, elements that facilitate better integration and operation within power systems, and business models that make the implementation of these systems economically viable.
Thus, this Special Issue aims to compile various advances that are contributing to the growth of marine energy towards a more technically and economically viable development model.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Technology developments to convert marine renewable energy into electricity.
- Analysis of electric grid stability when integrating marine energy.
- Technologies to enhance the connection of marine renewable energies into the grid, such as energy storage devices.
- Environmental impact of renewable marine energies when connected to the grid.
- Grid-isolated renewable marine energies.
- Autonomous systems supplied by renewable marine energy.
- Advanced modelling of renewable marine generators connected to the grid.
- Power electronics and control strategies to improve performance.
- Hydrogen production from renewable marine energy.

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.
