Combining wind turbines with wave, solar and tidal devices on shared platforms reduces construction costs, improves stability and generates more reliable power, according to researchers from the University of Surrey. The comprehensive review examined hybrid offshore renewable energy harvest systems that integrate multiple technologies on a single foundation. These systems could help countries meet ambitious climate targets while minimizing impact on marine ecosystems. The work is published in the journal Energy Conversion and Management.
Wind turbines combined with tidal–wave installations increase power generation by up to 70%
