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.
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.
He started working on wave energy in 1976 and filed 14 patents in this area. [13] He was the co-inventor of the Anaconda wave energy device. [14] He won the 1980 Hughes Medal of the Royal Society "for his ultra-precise measurements of the muon magnetic moment, a severe test of quantum electrodynamics and of the nature of the muon". [15]
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.

Marine energy, also known as ocean energy, ocean power, or marine and hydrokinetic energy, refers to energy harnessed from waves, tides, salinity gradients, and temperature differences in the ocean. The movement of water in the world's oceans stores vast amounts of kinetic energy , which can be converted into electricity to power homes ...
AWS Ocean Energy Ltd (or just AWS) is a Scottish wave energy device developer, based in Dochfour near Inverness, Highland.The company has developed and tested several concepts, primarily the Archimedes Waveswing (AWS) after which the company is named.
WaveRoller is a wave energy converter (WEC) developed by Finish company AW-Energy Oy since 2002, although the initial concept was developed between 1993 and 1999.. The device is a submerged hinged flap, or oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) type.
