Abstract

A physical comparison of a single isolated Spar Buoy type oscillating water column with two mooring types was carried out in Plymouth University’s Coast Laboratory. A simple catenary chain solution was compared to a hybrid line with floats and sinkers. The effect on performance via a decoupled motion analysis, as well as mooring tension was investigated. Results indicated a performance improvement can be made through the use of hybrid moorings.
