Experimental Validation and Comparison of Numerical Models for the Mooring System of a Floating Wave Energy Converter

Experimental Validation and Comparison of Numerical Models for the Mooring System of a Floating Wave Energy Converter

The mooring system of floating wave energy converters (WECs) has a crucial impact on power generation efficiency, cost of delivered energy, proper operation, reliability and survivability. An effective design, addressing such competing objectives, requires appropriate mathematical models to predict...
