At present, some scholars have proposed the concept and solution of dynamic compensation that integrates wave energy devices with carrier platforms to achieve cost sharing, space sharing and synergy between traditional marine structures and wave energy devices, and to improve the energy conversion efficiency of wave energy devices and the competitiveness of advanced marine equipment. At the same time, this has also brought new challenges and higher requirements to scientific and innovative research in the fields of wave energy development array and platform coupling. This requires the analysis of the hydrodynamic characteristics (motion response, energy capture efficiency) of floating platforms and array wave energy floats under wave action, and provides scientific guidance for the structural design and deployment of wave energy devices.
