This paper reviews research in ocean engineering over the last 50+ years with the aim to (I)
understand the technological challenges and evolution in the field,(II) investigate whether …

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 …

During the past decade, the development of offshore wind energy has transitioned from near
shore with shallow water to offshore middle-depth water regions. Consequently, the energy …

Accurate forecasting of the wave energy is crucial and has significant potential because
every wave meter possesses an energy amount ranging from 30 to 40 kW along the shore …

With the recent sharp increases in the price of oil, issues of security of supply, and pressure
to honor greenhouse gas emission limits (eg, the Kyoto protocol), much attention has turned …

Abstract Model predictive control (MPC) has achieved considerable success in the process
industries, with its ability to deal with linear and nonlinear models, while observing system …

This paper presents an optimal power management mechanism for grid connected
photovoltaic (PV) systems with storage. The objective is to help intensive penetration of PV …

With an increasing focus on climate action and energy security, an appropriate mix of
renewable energy technologies is imperative. Despite having considerable global potential …

Abstract The potential of Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) systems is usually evaluated
based on recent metocean data and assuming the stationarity of the MRE resource. Yet …

Integrating variable and non-dispatchable renewable power generation into existing power
systems will have consequences for their operation and future expansion. These impacts …
