N2 - 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.
