Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The current global trend of decarbonizing electricity generation is mainly based on the use of onshore renewable sources, leaving the generation of offshore renewable sources in the background. This trend is mainly due to the harsh marine environment, which adds a higher level of difficulty to the design, construction, and operation of renewable energy generation devices at sea compared to on land. However, these difficulties do not prevent us from taking advantage of the enormous potential presented by the development of offshore technologies for the generation of clean energy. An example of this is the construction and operation of offshore wind farms and the design and construction of novel wave and tidal power devices in recent years. These offshore renewable power plants have provided invaluable insights for the industrial community and researchers into the future development of such devices. However, there is still much work to do to achieve the correct and efficient operation of these types of facilities.

This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research achievements, findings, and ideas in offshore renewable energy devices, including mathematical modeling and methodological aspects. Researchers are invited to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that summarize the latest developments and ideas in these fields.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Offshore renewable energy technologies.
  • Sensor systems for offshore renewable energy applications.
  • Signal processing and power electronics for offshore renewable energy systems.
  • Control and modelling for offshore renewable energy systems.
  • Robotics for offshore renewable energy systems.
  • Industrial informatics for monitoring and controlling offshore renewable energy systems.
  • New operation and maintenance strategies for offshore renewable energy systems.
  • Life-cycle costs for offshore renewable energy systems.
  • Techno-economic modelling for offshore renewable energy systems.
  • Production costs for offshore renewable energy systems.
  • Offshore renewable energy strategies.
  • Mathematical modelling of offshore renewable energy systems.
  • Mathematical modelling of offshore renewable energy resources.
  • Risk and reliability mathematical models for offshore renewable energy systems.
  • Business mathematical models including Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) projections for offshore renewable energy systems.

It is necessary to determine the volume of water contained in a tank for a wide range of applications, such as the automation and monitoring of industrial operations. In the context of the marine industry, the aforementioned information plays a vital role in the effective management of submerged devices, specifically in relation to their depths and/or inclinations. In these cases, it is not feasible to quantify the volume of liquid in a tank by means of direct measurements, owing to the fact that devices can be subjected to changes in their orientation. This variation in inclination could have a variety of causes, such as the implementation of automated emersion–immersion maneuvers in a TEC or variations in depth in an AUV. Nevertheless, it can be deduced by considering the level of the tank and its geometric properties. This paper presents a new methodology-based sensorial system (composed of three capacitive sensors and an inclinometer) for accurate determination of the volume of a liquid contained within a cylindrical tank subjected to full variations in its orientation. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology-based sensorial system has been verified by the results obtained from experiments conducted on a laboratory platform, thus demonstrating the high reliability of the model experiment and the relative errors study carried out.

This paper investigates the resilient distributed secondary control problem against FDI attacks for the seaport microgrid with a high proportion of renewable energy. Firstly, the polymorphic seaport microgrid containing a power layer, a control layer, a data layer and a service layer is constructed. It can achieve a software-defined function for control strategies based on a layered network and allows heterogeneous distributed generators (DGs) to exchange various types of data packets. Secondly, considering the unbounded attack generated by stolen estimator parameters can rapidly cause a large-scale power outage of the seaport microgrid, an estimation-dependent attack is designed from the perspective of attackers. Furthermore, a resilient distributed secondary control strategy using the virtual network is proposed to defend against the estimation-dependent attack. The virtual layer interconnects with the original control layer in the polymorphic network to generate an attack compensation vector, which can suppress the attack in the control layer. Furthermore, the stability analysis is completed by using the Lyapunov theory. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy is validated by a seaport microgrid test model with six DGs.
