Although wave energy prototypes have been proposed for more than 100 years, they have
still not reached full commercialisation. The reasons for this are varied, but include the …

There are more than thousands of concepts for harvesting wave energy, and wave energy
converters (WECs) are diverse in operating principles, design geometries and deployment …

Achieving large-scale commercial exploitation of ocean wave energy inherently
encompasses the design and deployment of arrays of wave energy converters (WECs), in …

Renewable ocean energy is an alternative that will help reduce carbon emissions into the
atmosphere. However, there is uncertainty about potential environmental impacts of the …

The ocean contains a variety of renewable energy resources, little of which has been
exploited. Here, we review both tidal range and tidal stream energy, with a focus on the …

Motivated by the lack of comprehensive experimental implementation and assessment of the
potential benefit that can be achieved with energy-maximising optimal control solutions for …

Offshore renewable energies have been identified as important clean sources of energy in
line with sustainable development goals. However, their use can generate conflicts with …

Tidal stream turbines operate in the harsh marine environment, subjected to turbulence,
wave action and wakes from upstream devices when deployed in arrays. Turbines may be …

Owing to their predictability, tidal currents are an attractive source of renewable energy.
However, data on the environmental impacts, especially at array scale, are lacking. We …

The surface of marine fluid operating machinery is commonly damaged by cavitation, and
the protection of its surface is one of the key technologies in contemporary marine industry …
