Short summary
A comparison between the power generated by a 5 MW turbine mounted on a tension-leg platform and subjected to fully developed ocean wave movements, and the same platform/turbine not subjected to ocean motions shows that these wave motions have little effect on time-average power output over a large wind speed range.
