On the Design of an Integrated System for Wave Energy Conversion Purpose with the Reaction Mass on Board

In this paper, we investigate the design of an integrated system consisting of two non-rigidly connected bodies: A floating buoy and an emerged offshore structure. When waves excite the buoy to oscillate, the relative motion between the two bodies are converted to useful energy through a spring damp...
