Performance analysis of a point-absorber wave energy converter with a single buoy composed of three rigidly coupled structures

A single-body point absorber system is analysed to improve its power absorption at a finite water depth.  The proposed wave energy converter consists of a single floating body coupled to a direct-drive power take-off system placed on the seabed. The structure of a cylindrical buoy with large draft...
