Within the scope of a changing energy market, wave energy has yet to reach a level of
commercial viability that enables it to become competitive with alternative energy sources …

Ocean wave energy is attractive for its large reserves, exploitability and low emissions.
Although many Wave Energy Converter (WEC) concepts have been proposed, high …

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

To mitigate the effects of wind variability on power output, hybrid systems that combine
offshore wind with other renewables are a promising option. In this work we explore the …

Floating photovoltaic (PV) energy has been widely deployed in reservoirs, but its coastal
and offshore potential remains largely untapped. This work presents the first large-scale …

Layout optimization of wave energy offshore parks is a challenging task, as it encompasses
various design objectives and constraints attributed to the complex hydrodynamic …

Incorporating wave energy converters (WECs) into offshore aquaculture platforms to

A pile-supported OWC breakwater is a novel marine structure in which an oscillating water
column (OWC) is integrated into a pile-supported breakwater, with a dual function …

Offshore renewable energy is gaining attention as a vital component in the battle against
climate change. This emerging use of the marine environment is poised for rapid growth …

Coastal dunes are sensitive to both anthropic and natural processes of erosion. In this study,
we analyse the geomorphic changes in 15 dune-fringed coastlines of Asturias (NW Spain) …
