Long-term performance estimation of the Spar–Torus-Combination (STC) system with different survival modes
Abstract
This work addresses a combined wind and wave energy concept called the Spar–Torus-Combination (STC) system. Two additional survival modes for the original STC system (in a survival mode with the tours locked to the spar) have been proposed, namely the submerged mode and the low power take-off (PTO) damping mode. The performance of the STC system with different modes has been investigated based on a coupled analysis of wind–wave-induced …
