For reducing the number of components required for mooring (by- means of three, 120° spaced apart mooring lines) multiple floating wave energy converters (WECs), a group of six WECs is disposed in a hexagonal pattern with each WEC being disposed at a corner of the hexagon. The WECs are connected to one another by mooring lines extending along sides of the hexagon, each WEC thereby being connected by two, 120° spaced apart mooring lines and with each WEC serving as a mooring point for each of its two adjacent neighbors. A third mooring line for each WEC, spaced 120° from the other two mooring lines, is connected to an auxiliary surface buoy and thence to an anchor.

L'invention concerne un moyen de réduction du nombre de composants nécessaires à l'amarrage (au moyen de trois lignes d'amarrage espacées de 120°) de générateurs houlomoteurs (WEC) flottants multiples, un groupe de six WEC étant disposé selon un schéma hexagonal, chaque WEC étant disposé à un sommet de l'hexagone. Les WEC sont reliés les uns aux autres par des lignes d'amarrage s'étendant le long des côtés de l'hexagone, chaque WEC étant ainsi relié à deux lignes d'amarrage espacées de 120° et chaque WEC servant de point d'amarrage pour chacun de ses deux voisins immédiats. Une troisième ligne d'amarrage pour chaque WEC, espacée de 120° des deux autres lignes d'amarrage, est reliée à une bouée de surface auxiliaire et de là à une ancre.
