Highly-dynamic floating bodies such as wave energy convertors require mooring lines with particular mechanical properties; the mooring system must achieve adequate station keeping whilst controlling mooring tensions within acceptable limits. Optimised co...

A quasi-static analysis and sensitivity investigation of two different mooring configurations?a single anchor leg mooring (SALM) and a three-legged catenary anchor leg system (CALM)?is presented. The analysis aims to indicate what can be expected in term...

The paper presents the results of an experimental study identifying the response of a 1.5 MW Wave Dragon to extreme conditions typical of the DanWEC test center. The best strategies allowing for a reduction in the extreme mooring tension have also been i...
