Abstract
This study assesses multiple hybrid wind and wave floating offshore systems, utilizing a preliminary approach for dimensioning and the TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) analysis method for comparison. It aims to provide an initial evaluation of diverse concepts, emphasizing state-of-the-art combinations of Floating offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) with Wave Energy Converters (WECs). The criteria for evaluation include system cost, power extraction, WEC integration, dynamic and environmental responses, offering a comprehensive view of performance, economic viability, constructability, operational efficiency, and environmental impact. The findings, derived from the application of these methodologies, are informed by an Italian case study, enriching the insights and illustrating the practical implications of the evaluated hybrid systems within the Italian context. Preliminary results suggest a tendency for semi-submersible platforms to be more suitable for combined with WEC devices.
