Abstract
A combined wind and wave energy extraction device is studied, consisting of a single column tension leg platform (TLP) which supports a 5MW wind turbine (WT) and 3 point absorber wave energy converters (WECs). Two variations of the WECs are considered: one that is constrained to purely heave motion relative to the TLP hull, and a hinged device which moves in coupled surge and pitch as well as heave. The effects of both types of WECs on the WT power takeoff; on structural loads in the turbine tower and blades, WEC supporting structure, and tendons; and on the platform motions are examined for operational and 50-year extreme environmental conditions.
