ABSTRACT
This paper summarizes the theory behind the results of Task 10.1 and presents the results of Task 10.1.2, which include comparisons of power generation calculations in six irregular sea states with optimal linear damping and the same calculations with negative springs. The annual energy production was calculated following the simplified methodology of Nielsen & Pontes (2010), using the six sea states and the corresponding weighting factors to estimate the averaged power output at a selected generic location representing the North Sea.
