Validation of a Tool for the Initial Dynamic Design of Mooring Systems for Large Floating Wave Energy Converters

Mooring of floating wave energy converters is an important topic in renewable research since it highly influences the overall cost of the wave energy converter and thereby the cost of energy. In addition, several wave energy converter failures have been observed due to insufficient mooring systems....
