Cover Story: During the last decades, the large focus on renewable energy sources has led to development of different types of technologies for harvesting of energy. This includes wave energy converters. Despite comprehensive research, this sector is still not in a commercial state. Mooring of floating wave energy converters is an important topic in this research since it highly influences the overall cost of the devices. In addition, several wave energy converter failures have been observed due to insufficient mooring systems. This rises an apparent need for focus on cost and reliability and for definition of an applicable tool and standardized method for design and analysis of mooring systems.View the paper here.
