floating hybrids
floating wave and offshore wind hybrids are a new concept that has begun to be considered with the advent of floating offshore wind prototypes in recent times, with a number of developers developing floating substructures that combine offshore wind turbines with WECs. the interest in floating hybrids stems in part from the larger wave resource that exists in deep water in part from the lack of continental shelf and hence of countries with a relevant wave resource such as spain or portugal.
