Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering on the subject of “Renewable Energy Extraction in the Marine Environments and Its Coastal Impact.” Marine areas are among the most sustainable environments from the point of view of energy potential. Historically, these areas have significantly influenced global economic growth through ship transport, and current technological developments recommend them as very competitive in the context of renewable energy resources. Various research directions are being pursued at the moment, among which we can mention the possibility of developing co-located projects or assessing the role of the marine farms in coastal protection. This Special Issue is intended to provide a forum for academic researchers and technical professionals to exchange their recent works on technological advancements.

Dr. Florin Onea
Guest Editor

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.

At the European level, offshore wind projects are already considered a competitive market. Nevertheless, this is not yet the case of the enclosed sea basins, such as the Black Sea, where no offshore wind farm is operating at this moment. From this perspective, the objective of the present work is to identify the most suitable sites where a wind project can be developed in the Romanian coastal areas. Various parameters, such as wind speed, water depth, distance to shore, and turbine performance, are considered. A picture of the local wind characteristics is first provided considering 20 years of reanalysis data, which cover the time interval from January 1998 to December 2017. The results indicated that the best sites to implement a wind project are located in the northern sector of the Black Sea, close to the Danube Delta. It was also noticed an important variation of the wind speed between onshore and 20 km offshore, for which an increase of about 55% was estimated. Full article
