Marine renewable energy is a significant resource for generating
electricity, and if some conversion technologies have already
reached a certain level of maturity, others are emerging.

The originality of this multidisciplinary book is to offer a broad
spectrum of knowledge from academic and industry experts of various
origins. It deals with general aspects such as the specificities
and constraints of the marine environment, the concepts of
hydrodynamics and ocean engineering, as well as the industrial and
economic sides necessary for the assembly of projects.

It also discusses conversion technologies such as offshore wind,
tidal power plants, tidal stream turbines, wave energy converters
and ocean thermal energy plants. Finally, two chapters are devoted
to power electronic conversion and power transmission cables.
