Agucadoura Wave Farm in Portugal. The following page lists most power stations that run on wave power, however there are not many operational at present as wave energy is still a nascent technology. A longer list of proposed and prototype wave power devices is given on List of wave power projects.
Another way to tackle the problem; instead of adapting the waves to the power-take off system is adapting the system to the waves. This can be done by using a direct driven WEC (wave energy converter) with a linear generator. The advantage with this setup is a less complex mechanical system with potentially a smaller need for maintenance.
The Cycloidal Wave Energy Converter is a wave energy concept being developed by Atargis Energy Corporation in Colorado. The patents were filed in 2005, and the company was founded in 2010, after initial research showed potential. [67] It is a fully submerged wave termination device, located offshore, with a direct drive generator.
The potential energy density is equal to the kinetic energy, [1] both contributing half to the wave energy density E, as can be expected from the equipartition theorem. The waves propagate on the surface, where crests travel with the phase velocity while the energy is transported horizontally with the group velocity .
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.

SDE Sea Wave is a type of renewable energy power plant technology utilizing sea wave energy for the production of electricity. The SDE Sea Wave technology was developed by the Israeli company S.D.E. Energy LTD from 1996 to 2014. [ 1 ]
The Charles P. Crane Generating Station was a 400 megawatt coal power plant located on the Carroll Island Road in Bowleys Quarters, Maryland, 14 miles (23 km) east of Baltimore. The power plant was operated by C.P. Crane, LLC, a subsidiary of Avenue Capital Group.
The Mutriku Breakwater Wave Plant is a wave power plant constructed by Ente Vasco de la Energía (EVE), the Basque energy agency, in the bay of Mutriku in the Bay of Biscay. It is the world's first breakwater wave power plant with a multiple turbine arrangement. [1] The plant has a capacity of 296 kW from 16 turbo generator sets. [2]
