Summary Wind energy conversion system, aiming to convert mechanical energy of air flow into electrical energy has been widely concerned in recent decades. According to the installation sites, the wind energy conversion system can be divided into land‐based wind conversion system and offshore wind energy conversion (OWEC) system. Compared to land‐based wind energy technology, although OWEC started later, it has attracted more attentions due to its significant advantages in sufficient wind energy, low wind shear, high power output and low land occupancy rate. In this paper, the principle of wind energy conversion and the development status of offshore wind power in the world are briefly introduced at first. And then, the advantages and disadvantages of several offshore wind energy device (OWED), such as horizontal axis OWED, vertical axis OWED and cross axis OWED are compared. Subsequently, several major constraints, such as complex marine environment, deep‐sea power transmission and expensive cost of equipment installation faced by offshore wind conversion technology are presented and comprehensively analysed. Finally, based on the summary and analysis of some emerging technologies and the current situation of offshore wind energy utilization, the development trend of offshore wind power is envisioned. In the future, it is expected to witness multi‐energy complementary, key component optimization and intelligent control strategy for smooth energy generation of offshore wind power systems.

“…It is argued in [96] that spatial and temporal variations in the sources of energy harvesting for underwater environment directly affects the production of harvested energy. At times, the variations may be such that the generated output energy may not be sufficient to drive the required devices.…”

In underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks (UAWSNs), energy harvesting either enhances the lifetime of a network by increasing the battery power of sensor nodes or ensures battery-less operation of nodes. This, in effect, results in sustainable and reliable operation of the network deployed for various underwater applications. This work provides a survey of the energy harvesting techniques for UAWSNs. Our work is unique than the existing work on underwater energy harvesting in that it includes state-of-the art techniques designed in the last decade. It analyzes every harvesting scheme in terms of its main idea, merits, demerits and the extent of the harvested power (energy). The description of the merits results in selection of the suitable scheme for the suitable underwater applications. The demerits of the addressed schemes provide an insight to their future enhancement and improvement. Moreover, the harvested techniques are classified into various categories depending upon the involved energy harvesting mechanism and compared based on the maximum and minimum amount of harvested power, which helps in selection of the suitable category keeping in view the power budget of an underwater network before deployment. The challenges in energy harvesting and in UAWSNs are described to provide an insight to them and to address them for further enhancement in the harvested extent. Finally, research directions are specified for future investigation.

“…Rynne and von Ellenrieder (2009) discuss the use of different renewable energy sources in ASV, namely wind turbines, water turbines and solar panels. Cao et al (2017) investigate the use of hybrid systems, 𝑖.𝑒., systems that harvest multiple renewable energy resources including solar, wind and wave, for reducing variations and dependency compared to single sources. Their analysis shows that the majority of the oceans are complimentary in solar and wind power, most notably in the South Pacific ocean, Indian ocean and North Atlantic ocean, and that hybrid systems are more suitable for small vessels, craft or maritime robotics system, e.g., ASV, UAV and oceanographic buoys.…”
