This essential reference for industry professionals, researchers, and advanced students provides a comprehensive and integrated overview of the technical and economic aspects of offshore renewable energy systems, focusing on offshore wind, wave energy, and energy storage technologies.

Gao and Ertugrul have produced a timely and authoritative work that fills a critical gap in the literature on offshore renewable energy. This book stands out for its rigorous yet accessible treatment of the technical and economic dimensions of offshore wind, wave energy, and energy storage systems. By combining in-depth technical insights with real-world data, cost analyses, and global case studies, the authors provide a holistic framework that is both academically sound and practically relevant.
The books integrated focus on techno-economic evaluation makes it a valuable resource not only for engineers and researchers, but also for policymakers, financiers, and decision-makers in the renewable energy sector. It equips readers with the tools and understanding needed to assess the feasibility and sustainability of offshore energy solutions in a real-world context.
This is an essential reference for anyone serious about contributing to the future of clean, ocean-based energy systems. I highly recommend it to professionals, researchers, and students alike.
