Abstract :
This paper shows a new way of energy transmission between offshore wave farm and onshore grid. For it is proposed the installation of wave turbines near offshore wind farms. In this way the wave turbines use the available infrastructure of the wind farm and inject the energy directly to the wind farm grid, significantly reducing the cost of the transmission.
