A review of modelling techniques for floating offshore wind turbines
Wind Energy, 2022 Modelling floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is challenging due to the strong coupling between the aerodynamics of the turbine and the hydrodynamics of the floating platform.

Collision Detection for Underwater ROV Manipulator Systems
Sensors, 2018 Work-class ROVs equipped with robotic manipulators are extensively used for subsea intervention operations. Manipulators are teleoperated by human pilots relying on visual feedback from the worksite.

Energy Storage Technologies for Smoothing Power Fluctuations in Marine Current Turbines [PDF]
, 2014 With regard to marine renewable energies, significant electrical power can be extracted from marine tidal current. However, the power harnessed by a marine current turbine varies due to the periodicity of the tidal phenomenon and could be highly ...

Energy storage : the route to liberation from the fossil fuel economy? [PDF]
, 2008 If a low-carbon energy strategy is to be developed up to 2050, renewable energy sources will need to be deployed on a large scale against a scenario of increasing global energy demand.
