Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Offshore renewable energies include many technologies, characterized by different stages of maturity and Technology Readiness Level (TRL);from bottom fixed to floating offshore wind farms, wave energy converters, tidal energy systems, wave energy converters, floating PV, as well as other technologies such as salinity gradient power generation and ocean thermal energy conversion.
Indeed, ocean and marine energy penetration is one of the main energy transition challenges for the next few decades. As an example, the European Commission estimates that in Europe only 300 GW will be needed by 2050, and this provides a real opportunity with the NextGenerationEU recovery fund to foster investments in this sector.
This Special Issue aims at providing state-of-the-art experimental studies on offshore renewable power generating systems. We encourage researchers to share their original work from the field of offshore renewable energies and marine energy systems. Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to:
- Offshore renewable technologies;
- Energy storages and Power to X systems;
- Grid infrastructure analysis;
- Energy production forecasting;
- Satellite analysis and energy potential assessment;
- Energy price assessment and market perspective;
- Environmental impact assessment;
- Policy strategies and social impacts;

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
