Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine renewable energy (MRE) devices are key for the ambitions to decarbonize the energy sector, and they represent a rapidly evolving and expanding field of technology. This Special Issue aims to compile original research papers and review articles that highlight the latest advancements in devices for the conversion of marine renewables, including ocean energy sources such as tidal, wave, ocean thermal energy conversion, and salinity gradients, as well as floating photovoltaic energy and offshore wind.
The potential topics of research and review papers include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The development of technologies for marine renewable energy conversion;
- The optimisation of the design of MRE devices;
- Hybrid devices for energy conversion integrated into multipurpose and combined structures, both for installation in offshore and coastal areas;
- The development of power take-off components and mooring systems for MRE devices;
- The effect of climate change on MRE productivity and survivability;
- The latest advances in numerical and experimental modelling approaches for MRE devices.

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.
