Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Offshore renewable energy is thought to be a potential field for sustainable development. In recent years, offshore wind turbine energy, ocean energy and renewable energy-powered hydrogen storage have attracted more and more attention all over the world. With some prototypes and commercial devices being demonstrated and deployed, more problems occur and more novel methods are put forward and studied. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest achievements and promote the sustainable development of renewable energy, including offshore wind energy, marine current energy, wave energy, etc.
We would like to invite submissions of research and review articles that utilize innovative technologies, new methodologies and innovative ideas to address the goals of a sustainable future using renewable energy. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Offshore wind energy;
- Marine current energy;
- Tidal energy;
- Wave energy;
- Ocean thermal energy;
- Salinity energy;
- Hydrogen or desalination by renewable energy;
- Offshore hybrid power system.
