Abstract
In recent years, with more and more offshore wind farms being constructed, the question arises as to the possibility of integrating other marine renewables together with offshore wind. This integration presents a number of advantages, including a better utilisation of the marine space and lower installation costs relative to separate installations. Therefore, new hybrid or multiplatform solutions are being developed. This work is focused on the integration of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) into offshore wind farms. Furthermore, the sustainable development of both offshore wind and wave industries requires a reasonable and responsible use of the natural resources, optimizing their exploitation where present. And it is in relation to this and on the shared challenge for both in reducing cost that the option to integrate these energies arises.
