For a tidal energy device deployed in a location with strong currents and a rocky seabed, a multi-point mooring system utilizing drag-embedment anchors is generally most appropriate because it provides high holding capacity, good station-keeping ability, and can be reliably installed in challenging seabed conditions. A mooring system connects the tidal energy device to the seabed, keeping it in place against the forces of the tidal currents. Strong currents exert significant drag forces on the device, requiring a mooring system with high holding capacity. A rocky seabed presents challenges for an....
