Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewable energy sources such as solar PV and wind power plants have reached the commercial level and have been actively integrated into the grids locally (distributed generation) as well as on a larger scale (large solar PV and wind power farms). According to recently announced sustainability targets by the European commission, an even larger share of renewable energy generation should be reached in the coming decades. This offers multiple challenges related to grid stability with a large share of renewable energy generation. Marine renewable energy has been demonstrated to have less variability over a longer time scale, better predictability when compared with solar irradiation and wind, and, at the same time, marine renewable energy sources are relatively uncorrelated in many areas with wind.
In this light, marine energy can be a good source to balance the variability of other renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar PV, to balance the grid. However, many challenges need to be addressed, including the safety and technical capacity of the shared infrastructure of offshore renewable energy sources, component development for efficient power transmission over long distances, and their applicability to specific technologies or their hybrid solutions. To what extent standard off-the-shelf energy conversion solutions existing now on the market are applicable to marine renewable energy should also be explored.
With this Special Issue, we would like to highlight the importance of research within the field of power system analysis for marine renewable applications. We encourage contributions discussing grid codes and standardization for off-shore renewable 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.
