CalWave Power Technologies, Inc. is an American wave energy company. The startup focuses on developing energy technologies that tap ocean energy. It is noted for engineering the device called xWave technology. [1] CalWave is based in Oakland, California. [2]
The world's first marine energy test facility was established in 2003 to start the development of the wave and tidal energy industry in the UK. Based in Orkney, Scotland, the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) has supported the deployment of more wave and tidal energy devices than at any other single site in the world. EMEC provides a variety ...
The ETEC specialized in non-nuclear testing of components which were designed to transfer heat from a nuclear reactor using liquid metals instead of water or gas. The center operated from 1966 to 1998. [25] The ETEC site has been closed and is now [needs update] undergoing building removal and environmental remediation by the U.S. Department of ...
The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) was set up in Orkney in 2003, and developed a tidal test site in the Fall of Warness, to the west of the island of Eday. The site opened in 2006, and EMEC was granted a license in 2016 to test up to 10 MW of tidal stream devices, and has since hosted the testing of many of these devices. [1]
The Department of Energy announced a $22 million grant to fund wave energy research by private companies and universities in January 2022. [3] Academic institutions conducting wave energy research include Portland State University, the University of Washington, and the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University.

The test site was officially opened by Alex Salmond, then Scotland's First Minister, in September 2007. [9] The following tidal developers have installed and tested technologies at EMEC's Fall of Warness tidal test site OpenHydro was the first developer to use the site. Dublin-based OpenHydro began the installation of their open-centred turbine ...
The 1980s saw a number of small research projects to evaluate marine current power systems. The main countries where studies were carried out were the UK, Canada, and Japan. In 1992–1993 the Tidal Stream Energy Review identified specific sites in UK waters with suitable current speed to generate up to 58 TWh/year.
