A first-order dynamics and cost comparison of wave energy converters combined with floating wind turbines.

Attaching a wave energy converter to a floating wind turbine (FWT-WEC) produces cost savings by sharing the mooring lines, electric transmission lines, and site permitting. We investigate if certain parameters can produce synergistic dynamics: maximized WEC power, minimized WEC cost, and minimized F...
