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.
Wave Power Station using a pneumatic Chamber Simplified design of Wave Power Station. Floating in-air converters potentially offer increased reliability because the device is located above the water, which also eases inspection and maintenance. Examples of different concepts of floating in-air converters include:
It was designed to provide power for “free floating” buoy systems deployed in Distributed Sensor Networks by the submarine fleet of the U.S. Navy. It was designed to produce a steady power output of 40 milliwatts from wave motion,with a capacity to store at least 60 joules of energy. [82] It was patented in 2009. [83]
Ocean Power Technologies is developing a commercial wave park on the west coast of the United States located 2.5 miles offshore near Reedsport, Oregon. The first phase of this project is for ten power generation systems (buoys), or 1.5 megawatts.
Located on the east side of Gibraltar, on a former World War II ammunition jetty, the Gibraltar Wave Farm is the first commercial, grid-connected wave energy power station in all of Europe. [1] The project utilizes the devices of Eco Wave Power Ltd, an Israel-based wave energy company. [ 2 ]
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]

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.
