Floating wind turbines gain wave-dampening boost from strategic array design

Researchers have found that point absorber arrays—devices that harvest energy from waves—can significantly reduce platform motion when integrated with floating offshore wind turbines. The discovery could make floating wind farms more stable and cost-effective, expanding where wind energy can be deployed in rougher seas.
