“…Tidal energy converters harness the kinetic energy of the tide's nearshore in passes, islands, and straits. Some investigations looked into the utilisation of tidal turbines in various ports, such as the port of New Jersey in the United States of America [175] and some ports in Spain [160] [176]. Wave energy utilisation was investigated for different ports, including Port Leixes in Portugal [177] and various Italian ports [178].…”

Recently, because of serious global challenges including the consumption of energy and climate change, there has been an increase in interest in the environmental effect of port operations and expansion. More interestingly, a strategic tendency in seaport advancement has been to manage the seaport system using a model which balances environmental volatility and economic development demands. An energy efficient management system is regarded as being vital for meeting the strict rules aimed at reducing the environmental pollution caused by port facility activities. Moreover, the enhanced supervision of port system operating methods and technical resolutions for energy utilisation also raise significant issues. In addition, low-carbon ports, as well as green port models, are becoming increasingly popular in seafaring nations. This study comprises a comprehensive assessment of operational methods, cutting-edge technologies for sustainable generation, storage, and transformation of energy, as well as systems of smart grid management, to develop a green seaport system, obtaining optimum operational efficiency and environmental protection. It is thought that using a holistic method and adaptive management, based on a framework of sustainable and green energy, could stimulate creative thinking, consensus building, and cooperation, as well as streamline the regulatory demands associated with port energy management. Although several aspects of sustainability and green energy could increase initial expenditure, they might result in significant life cycle savings due to decreased consumption of energy and output of emissions, as well as reduced operational and maintenance expenses.

“…Oceans around the world possess a huge potential to harness clean energy and take a great part in the decarbonization of energy systems. The tidal power potential was theoretically computed to be approximately 7800 TWh/year worldwide [5]. A large segment of such a potential is yet to be explored.…”

“…The majority of the countries abundant with tidal current and the ocean current potential include South Korea, China, Norway, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, the Russi, the UK, and the USA [8]. However, other countries such as Malaysia, Spain, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Iran also have tidal current energy sites from where a significant amount of tidal energy can be generated [5], [9]- [11]. The considerable attention has been given for research in tidal energy exploration in these countries, and the new sites are explored for TEC installation and sea trials.…”

<span lang="EN-US">The increasing demand for sustainable energy generation brings a need for tidal current energy resource exploration around the globe. Hydrodynamic modelling is an essential aspect to explore macro tidal sites. In the current research paper, a 2D hydrodynamic model is set up by utilizing the numerical application of Delft3D. The model is validated against the database results and the two macro tidal sites are identified along the coastline of Sarawak, Malaysia. The maximum available kinetic energy flux at the identified location is 0.6 kW/m2, during peak neap tide hours. This stands as a sound justification to have a detailed tidal energy assessment study in this area in future research.</span>

Renewable energy research has become significant in the modern period owing to escalating prices of fossil fuels and the pressing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Solar energy stands out among these sources due to its abundance and global accessibility. However, its weather-dependent and cyclical nature add inherent risks, making effective planning and management difficult. Soft computing technologies provide attractive solutions for modeling such systems, while machine learning and optimization techniques are gaining popularity in the solar energy industry. The current literature highlights the growing use of soft computing technologies, emphasizing their potential to address difficult challenges in solar energy systems. To effectively reap the benefits, these strategies must be seamlessly connected with emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, and cloud computing. This integration provides a unique opportunity to improve the scalability, flexibility, and efficiency of solar energy systems. Researchers can use these synergies to create intelligent, linked solar energy ecosystems capable of real-time optimization of energy production, delivery, and consumption. These technologies have the potential to transform the renewable energy environment, allowing for more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructures. Furthermore, as these technologies improve, there is a growing demand for trained experts to address associated cybersecurity problems, assuring the integrity and security of these sophisticated systems. Researchers may pave the road for a more sustainable and energy-efficient future by working collaboratively and using interdisciplinary methodologies.
