He, X.; Tang, Y.G.; Liu L.Q., and Zhang, R.Y., 2018. Design of the Mooring System for a Floating Wave Energy Converter. In: Shim, J.-S.; Chun, I., and Lim, H.S. (eds.), Proceedings from the International Coastal Symposium (ICS) 2018 (Busan, Republic of Korea). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 85, pp. 1351–1355. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.The mooring system is important for a floating wave energy converter since it provides a positioning function and significantly affects the motion characteristics of the wave energy converter. In the present study, a novelty mooring system, which works as a single point mooring assisted with a yaw-restrain system, is proposed. Based on a potential flow theory, a numerical study is carried out. The response amplitudes induced by the wave under different incident angles are presented. The numerical study shows that the incident angle is a key factor of the motion amplitude, and that for each special wavelength, there is an optimal incident angle. A coupled analysis is carried out for the wave energy converter with its mooring system. A controlling method is presented for a given incident angle.
