Experimental Investigation of the Mooring System of a Wave Energy Converter in Operating and Extreme Wave Conditions

Experimental Investigation of the Mooring System of a Wave Energy Converter in Operating and Extreme Wave Conditions

A proper design of the mooring systems for Wave Energy Converters (WECs) requires an accurate investigation of both operating and extreme wave conditions. A careful analysis of these systems is required to design a mooring configuration that ensures station keeping, reliability, maintainability, and...
