Optimization of mooring configuration parameters of floating wave energy converts

Floating point absorbers devices are a large class of wave energy converters for deployment offshore, typically in water depths between 40 and 100m. As floating oil and gas platforms,the devices are subject to drift forces due to waves, currents and wind, and therefore have to be kept in place by a...
