Design and Analysis of a Mooring Buoy for a Floating Arrayed WEC Platform [PDF]

Processes, 2021
This paper presents the design and analysis of a mooring buoy and its mooring systems to moor a floating platform mounting an arrayed Wave Energy Converters (WECs). The mooring buoy allows the WEC platform to weathervane around the mooring buoy freely by the prevailing environment directions, which enables consistent power generation.
