Experimental investigation of a novel wave energy floating platform for hybrid ...
Mendonça, Nuno P.; Portillo, Juan C. C.ABSTRACT: The work presents the process of model design and testing and the experimental results for the OctaPlat, a new wave energy floating platform, conceived at IST/ULisboa. A physical model was designed on the basis of the Octaplat concept, which comprises five oscillating water columns (OWCs). The physical model design considered only three of the five OWCs due to infrastructure constraints and was made o...
Techno-economic analysis of a novel hybrid wind-wave floating platform concept:...
Rodrigues, M.B.V.A.; Portillo, Juan C. C.; Henriques, João; Gato, Luís; Mendonça, Nuno P.ABSTRACT: This work focuses on the techno-economic analysis of a novel floating offshore hybrid wind-wave platform. Floating multi-purpose platforms can potentially reduce costs associated with floating offshore wind. This work is based on the OctaPlat, a barge-type hybrid wind-wave floating platform designed at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. The paper presents the concept and numerical model...
