Design considerations for a three-tethered point absorber wave energy converter with nonlinear coupling between hydrodynamic modes

Multi-mode Wave Energy Converters (WECs) are designed to harvest energy simultaneously from multiple hydrodynamic modes, thereby maximising power absorption. The behaviour of each mode must be carefully considered, given that hydrodynamic and geometric coupling between modes can lead to severe reduc...
