Special Session SS01

Advanced Offshore Renewable Energy Generation and Grid-Integration Technologies

---

Introduction:

Offshore renewable energy (ORE) has emerged as a key contributor to the transition towards a low-carbon, sustainable energy system. Technologies such as fixed-bottom/floating offshore wind turbines, offshore floating photovoltaic systems, wave energy converters, tidal stream and tidal range systems, and ocean current platforms offer vast, largely untapped resources with significant potential for commercialization. However, the development of ORE remains constrained by challenges in energy capture and conversion efficiency, structural reliability and survivability in marine environments, cost-effective power take-off and electrical systems, operations and maintenance with limited offshore accessibility, and reliable and economical grid integration of large-scale offshore generation systems, such as power collection topologies, offshore transmission, and grid-forming control. This special session focuses on recent advances in ORE technologies, with particular emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches in overcoming the technological and economic barriers, as well as on methods that bridge numerical modelling, experimental validation, and field deployment. Topics include, but are not limited to:
1. High-efficiency control and optimization for ORE systems;
2. Wave energy conversion system design, control, testing, and application;
3. Electrical generator design for ORE conversion;
4. Advanced power electronic converter technologies for ORE generation;
5. Energy management and energy storage systems for ORE plants;
6. Power collection and grid integration of large-scale ORE farms;
7. Design and control of hybrid ORE platforms;
8. Monitoring, fault diagnosis, and fault-tolerant control for ORE systems.
