Wave Energy Converter’s Slack and Stiff Connection: Study of Absorbed Power in Irregular Waves

Two different concepts of wave energy converter coupled to the novel C-GEN linear generator have been studied numerically, including the evaluation of different buoy sizes. The first concept has a slack connection between the buoy and the generator on the seabed. Another concept is based on a stiff...
