thec conducted a multi-body analysis comprising both the wave energy converter (WEC) and the submerged base part to assess loads on wires, mooring lines and anchors as well as motion trajectories of the innovative WEC system. Guide wires and power take-off (PTO) are modelled to accuaretly capture the motion behaviour. Latter is modelled including energy dissipation corresponding to the power generator behaviour.
Required bollard pull of the tug used for transport was also assessed by thec.
