An evaluation of a new hybrid wave and wind energy converter

An evaluation of a new hybrid wave and wind energy converter

My research is about to analyse the possibilities of combining wave and offshore wind energy converters. Bring together these two marine renewable energies, means the study of different options, as:

– Co-located farms, where the WECs and the offshore windmills are placed on the same maritime space, but without sharing the same substructure;
– Hybrid technologies, which integrates a WEC and an offshore wind substructure as a common structure of multiplatform; and
– Energy islands, which are large offshore floating platforms where different marine
