This paper surveys the recent advances in marine mechatronic systems from a control
perspective. The survey is by no means exhaustive, but introduces some notable results in …

The deep-sea environment creates the largest ecosystem in the world with the largest
biological community and extensive undiscovered biodiversity. Nevertheless, these …

The study of the effects of climate change on the marine environment requires the existence
of sufficiently long time series of key parameters. The study of these series allows both to …

Thermal cycling is one of the major reasons for failure in power electronic converters. For
submerged tidal turbine converters investigating this failure mode is critical in improving the …

In recent years, cabled ocean observation technology has been increasingly used for deep
sea in situ research. As sophisticated sensor or measurement system starts to be applied on …

This paper describes the design of a deep-sea chemical data collector for a seafloor
observatory network. The control system of the data collector comprises the main control …

Constant current power transmission is considered a good choice for subsea observatories
due to its high resistance to shunt faults. A constant current subsea observatory is planned to …

This paper compares active and passive cooling systems in tidal turbine power electronic
converters. The comparison is based on the lifetime of the IGBT (insulated gate bipolar …

Experimental and theoretical analyses are conducted to evaluate the passive cooling
performance of a novel geometry for subsea variable speed drives, a common piece of …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) have been implemented to mitigate the effects of climate
change and overfishing on various marine ecosystems. Nonetheless, these areas need …
