Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce this Special Issue, entitled “State-of-the-Art in Ocean Wave Energy Conversion”.

The development of renewable energy has always been a hot topic of research. Among all types of renewable energy, wave energy is one of the most promising untapped ocean energy resources. The United Kingdom, France, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and other countries have gradually turned towards the development and utilization of marine energy. Extensive physical model tests have also been carried out by different developers, yielding in an important increase in knowledge.

In this Special Issue, we welcome all research related to the newly developed technologies in wave energy conversion and system design. We look forward to receiving your contributions on the state of the art and perspectives on wave energy conversion, as well as all related topics, such as modeling, experiments, hydrodynamics, control, moorings, array deployment, PTO, and advanced materials.
