| الوصف: | 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 converters (WECs). The integration of floating artificial reefs and WECs into the MFS can improve the marine environment and produce considerable electricity. The effects of both wave characteristics and the module quantity on the hydrodynamic responses of the MFS system were studied in depth, based on a time-domain numerical model. Both the modules’ hydrodynamic interaction effect and the connectors’ mechanical coupling effect were considered. The results indicate that floating artificial reefs combined with WECs can effectively reduce wave loads and convert wave energy into electricity for the MFS system. More modules involved in the MFS system could significantly reduce motion response and produced more wave energy output, which indicates that the MFS system is suitable for large-scale expansion. The effect of different power take-off (PTO) damping coefficients on the WECs’ performance was further investigated, and the optimal damping coefficient was recommended for the MFS system. Finally, the main extreme responses of the MFS system were further investigated, and its safety was checked thoroughly. One survival strategy was proposed, which could efficiently reduce extreme connector loads by more than 50%. |
