Abstract: This review considers the dynamic phenomenon of parametric resonance within marine renewable energy. It consolidates literature on the observation, suppression, exploitation, and modeling of parametric resonance in wave energy conversion and offshore wind turbines. Insights from other offshore industries are integrated, highlighting valuable tools and methods from broader offshore engineering research on parametric resonance. Key gaps are identified, including the need for studies under irregular wave conditions and the impact of parametric resonance on reliability and fatigue life. The review highlights the importance of comprehensive models that integrate hydrodynamic, aerodynamic, and mooring dynamics, coupled with uncertainty analyses, to predict and mitigate parametric resonance’s effects across the marine renewable energy device’s life cycle.
