Over the last two decades, a large body of academic scholarship has been generated on
wave and tidal energy related topics. It is therefore important to assess and analyse the …

Extracting wave energy is a promising solution for renewable energy production because of
the high energy intensity of ocean waves when compared to other renewable energy …

Since the introduction of the concept of very large floating structure (VLFS), research in this
area has become increasingly intensive. VLFSs have the potential to serve various functions …

The present review paper focuses on the recent developments in the multi-body large
floating structures based on theoretical, numerical, and experimental research applications …

The most typical example of raft-type wave energy converters (WECs) is a system consisting
of two hinged cylinders. It utilizes the relative rotation between these floats to operate a …

Multi-purpose floating platforms are emerging as a promising concept in ocean engineering
applications, thanks to their capability of ensuring system integration, cost reduction and …

Abstract Very Large Floating Structure (VLFS) plays a crucial role in mitigating land resource
scarcity in developed coastal areas. This paper introduces an innovative VLFS concept …

A novel concept of wave energy converter cum breakwater is proposed, consists of a
multiple-raft wave energy converter (WEC) integrated with a floating breakwater (FB), which …

An array of compact, portable and stable Wave Energy Converters (WECs) integrated with
an offshore floating platform can reduce the platform's motion response to waves, and …

A novel modular floating structure (MFS) system moored by tension legs was proposed,
which is composed of hexagonal floating modules, floating artificial reefs and wave energy …
