Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

For the marine renewable energy sector to achieve its commercialization targets and become successful in its development, enhanced collaboration between members of the sector is required, particularly between research institutions. This provides the motivation for the Partnership for Research in Marine Renewable Energy (PRIMaRE): a consortium of marine renewable energy experts across higher education, research, and industry who have joined together to establish a ‘network of excellence’ centered in the southwest of the UK. As part of their strategy, PRIMaRE holds an annual conference series that provides a forum for presenting and discussing the latest research and development in all areas relating to marine renewable energy to a diverse community including industrial developers, university researchers, marine environmentalists, and policymakers. This Special Issue will publish the most exciting research from the 8th PRIMaRE conference, to provide a rapid turn-around time regarding reviewing and publishing, and disseminate the articles freely for research, teaching, and reference purposes.

High-quality and novel papers directly related to various aspects of marine renewable energy are encouraged, including the following:

  • Technology
  • Policy
  • Environment
  • Hydrodynamics
  • Resource characterization
  • Materials
  • Operation and management

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

Wind farm layout optimisation has become a very challenging and widespread problem in recent years. In many publications, the main goal is to achieve the maximum power output and minimum wind farm cost. This may be accomplished by applying single or multi-objective optimisation techniques. In this paper, we apply a single objective hill-climbing algorithm (HCA) and three multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (NSGA-II, SPEA2 and PESA-II) to a well-known benchmark optimisation problem proposed by Mosetti et al., which includes three different wind scenarios. We achieved better results by applying single- and multi-objective algorithms. Furthermore, we showed that the best performing multi-objective algorithm was NSGA-II. Finally, an extensive comparison of the results of past publications is made. Full article
