Advances in Offshore Wind—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

As a consequence of increasing energy demand and growing awareness of the repercussions of greenhouse gas emissions in recent years, the need to expand renewable energy production has become clear. As the leading power-generation technology, wind has become more popular. Moreover, with the gradual completion of onshore wind projects, attention has turned toward offshore wind. However, due to harsh offshore environments, the design, construction, and operation of wind-generation systems at sea are more difficult than on land. By following current developments in wind models and their related design tools, more advanced wind energy conversion and utilization technologies are attainable. Therefore, the main aim of this Special Issue is to create a multidisciplinary forum of discussions on the most recent advances in offshore wind, with a particular focus on floating wind.

For this Special Issue, we invite authors to contribute their latest research, findings, and ideas on offshore wind utilization and development, with topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• Offshore wind resource assessment techniques;
• Offshore wind turbine and farm designs;
• Offshore wind control, protection, and state diagnostics;
• Offshore wind operations and maintenance;
• Structural and mechanical aspects of offshore wind;
• Offshore wind power economics;
• Offshore wind power in multi-energy systems.

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.
