For reducing the number of anchors required for mooring a plurality of WECs in a body of water, the WECs are arrayed in two patterns enabling the sharing of anchors among the WECs. One pattern comprises pluralities of WECs disposed in polygonal shaped cells with an anchor disposed beneath each cell connected to all the WECs in the cell. A second pattern comprises a tessellated pattern of contiguous cells with WECs at the interface between contiguous pairs of cells being common to both cells of the pairs.
Pour réduire le nombre d'ancres nécessaires à l'ancrage de dispositifs de conversion d'énergie des vagues (WECS) dans un plan d'eau, lesdits WECs sont disposés selon deux configurations permettant de partager les ancres entre eux. L'une des configurations comprend des WECs disposés en cellules polygonales avec une ancre placée sous chaque cellule reliée à tous ses WECS. L'autre configuration est une disposition en mosaïque de cellules contiguës où les WECS se trouvent aux interfaces entre paires contiguës de cellules, communs aux deux cellules de chaque paire.
