Abstract

Many marine energy devices rely on mooring systems to maintain their position on station. This report summarises the primary design considerations for device mooring systems and identifies several factors that would influence mooring system cost. The implications of employing these mooring systems for station-keeping of arrays of devices are briefly discussed.
