Mooring system design for a wave energy converter / prepared by Bill Rawlings and Voytek Klaptocz, Mavi Innovations Inc. : M154-41/2010E-PDF
This report provides a summary of the collaborative work done by Mavi Innovations Inc., Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) and a Scott Beatty, a PhD candidate from the University of Victoria (UVic) Ocean Engineering Research Group, on mooring system design for tidal energy converters (TECs) and wave energy converters (WECs). This report specifically deals with the WEC mooring analysis. A separate report was issued documenting the design of a TEC mooring system. The majority of the work was funded by Natural Resources Canada with an additional portion done on an in-kind basis by each company. This report documents the modeling work done by DSA to develop a mooring system for a generic heaving wave energy point absorber designed by UVic researchers. The primary objective of this work was to analyze the response of a full scale mooring system and subsequently develop a scaling methodology for experimentally testing the WEC in a towing tank or offshore basin.
