Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are now accepting submissions to the upcoming Special Issue of Energies on the topic of "Developments in Extracting Marine Renewable Energy". With growing concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, the impact of climate change, and environmental safety, the exploitation of renewable energy resources represents an issue of increasing importance and is receiving considerable attention worldwide. Renewable resources are abundant in marine environments and there are various technologies available to harvest their energy. However, these resources vary depending on weather conditions and location, and their assessment over extended periods is important, based on in-situ records or numerical modelling results. From this perspective, this Special Issue seeks to contribute to the knowledge in the domain of marine renewable energy through enhanced studies and multidisciplinary works. Taking into consideration the above-mentioned aspects, this Special Issue encompasses, but is not limited to, the following topics of interest:
- Tidal energy extraction;
- Offshore wind, fix turbines, and floating platforms;
- Wave energy extraction;
- Conversion of the solar energy in marine environment;
- Hybrid concepts;
- Environmental impact of marine energy extraction;
- Assessment of the waves, tides, and offshore wind resources;
- Numerical modelling of marine energy converters;
- Physical modelling of marine energy converters;
- Numerical and experimental studies on arrays;
- Economic aspects in harvesting ocean energy;
- Risk and reliability assessment in marine energy extraction.

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.
