  2. Oscillating water column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillating_water_column

    The PTO system is the second main component of an OWC device. It converts the pneumatic power into a desired energy source (i.e. sound or electricity). The PTO system design is very important to the efficiency of the oscillating water column. It must be able to convert airflow going both out of and into the collecting chamber into energy.

    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.

    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.

  5. Sotenäs Wave Power Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sotenäs_Wave_Power_Station

    Sotenäs is a wave farm located in Kungshamn, in the municipality of Sotenäs, Sweden. The facility consists of 36 wave energy converters (WECs), with a total installed capacity of nearly 1 MW. Each WEC generates power using point absorber buoys connected to linear generators on the seabed. The generators are located at a depth of 50 m (160 ft).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_power

    A wave farm (wave power farm or wave energy park) is a group of colocated wave energy devices. The devices interact hydrodynamically and electrically, according to the number of machines, spacing and layout, wave climate, coastal and benthic geometry, and control strategies.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islay_LIMPET

    Islay LIMPET (Land Installed Marine Power Energy Transmitter) was the world's first commercial wave power device and was connected to the United Kingdom's National Grid, in November 2000. [2] The device was initially rated at 500 kW, but this was later downrated to 250 kW. The device was eventually decommissioned in 2012.

    The United States Department of Energy (DOE) announced in 2015 a competition to improve the efficiency of wave energy converter (WEC) devices. Waveswing America was one of 92 entrants, and in March 2016 qualified as one of nine finalists to receive up to $125,000 seed funding to develop and test a 1:20 scale model. [ 14 ]
