Hydrodynamic Response of Wave Energy Converters under Complex Sea State<sup><sup></sup></sup>

Abstract

In real sea state, Ocean energy devices to work hard to stabilize, or even destroyed. Based on Airy wave theory, Movement and force of heaving cylindrical wave-energy converter (WEC) was analyzed under the complex marine state. Then setting the South China coast as the environmental background, and simulating and computing the motion response of the buoy and the mooring system under various sea conditions. The computational data show that complex mechanical response was happened and the mooring system (SM) has excellent mooring performance. The research results have practical significance for heaving cylindrical WEC survival design under real sea conditions.
