Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing demand for renewable energy, the exploration of ocean resources has gained attention. Offshore renewable energy has been marked by significant milestones, from early experiments with wave and tidal energy to the emergence of offshore wind farms and innovative solutions like floating photovoltaics. This Special Issue aims to delve into the latest advancements and challenges in harnessing ocean energy. We seek to address key issues in resource assessment, cutting-edge technology innovation, and sustainable deployment practices. We invite submissions of original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful case studies that explore various aspects of offshore renewable energy, including ocean energy resource characterization, novel technology development, environmental impact assessments, and policy implications. Contributions drawing from interdisciplinary perspectives are encouraged.

Interactions between wave energy converters (WECs) can significantly affect the overall energy-harnessing performance of a wave park. Although large-size wave parks with many WEC units are commonly considered in practical applications, it is challenging to simulate such parks due to huge computational costs. This paper presents a numerical model that uses the boundary element method (BEM) to simulate wave parks. Each wave energy converter (WEC) was modelled as a comprehensive system, including WEC buoys, power take-off, and mooring systems, with hydrodynamic interactions included. Two classical layouts for arranging 16 units were simulated using this numerical model. The energy-harnessing performance of these array layouts was analyzed for both regular waves and a selection of irregular sea state conditions with different wave directions, wave heights, wave periods and water depths. For each layout, three WEC separation distances were studied. An increase of up to 16% in the power performance of the WEC under regular waves was observed, which highlights the importance of interaction effects. Full article
