Investigation of the Float Body Geometry on the Power of Wave Energy Absorber Converter Using Mooring Catenary
This paper presents the effect of hydrodynamic parameters of the two-body converters of a point wave absorber on the amount of power output.This converter includes two submerged and floating bodies which are connected to the spring-damper system.The whole of the converter is connected to the sea bed by mooring catenary.The relative displacement of
