Numerical Investigation of a Tuned Heave Plate Energy-Harvesting System of a Semi-Submersible Platform

A novel tuned heave plate energy-harvesting system (THPEH) is presented for the motion suppressing and energy harvesting of a semi-submersible platform. This THPEH system is designed based on the principle of a tuned mass damper (TMD) and is composed of spring supports, a power take-off system (PTO)...
