|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150 kW Indian Wave Energy Program | IIT Madras | Vizhinjam, India | OWC | Bottom Standing Near Shore | Electric to Grid | 1991 | The Wave Energy Group at Ocean Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, funded by the Department of Ocean Development, Government of India built, operated, instrumented, and tested a 150 kW OWC Wave Energy nearshore bottom standing caisson with different turbines over a period of multiple decades.[1] Since the wave power in the equatorial region where this device was tested was low about 13 kW/m, the choice was for a multi-functional breakwater unit that could provide a safe harbor for fishing vessels and produce power more economically by sharing the costs of the structure. Electric power pumped to the grid was demonstrated.[2] The group has also researched directly producing desalinated water and thermal storage using refrigeration. These technologies alleviate the need for an electric grid and demonstrate alternate power generation appropriate for the location.[3]   |
| Azura wave power device | US Navy Wave Energy Test Site | Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii | Submerged | Offshore | Electric | 2016 | 45-ton wave energy converter located at a depth of 30 metres (98 ft).[4][5][6] |
| Albatern WaveNET | Albatern | Scotland, UK | Multi Point Absorber array | Offshore | 2010 | Albatern are working with their third iteration devices with a 14-week deployment on a Scottish fishfarm site in 2014,[7] and a 6 unit array deployment for full characterisation at Kishorn Port in 2015.[8] Initially working with smaller devices and arrays, the company is targeting off grid markets where diesel generation is presently used in offshore fish farms, coastal communities and long endurance scientific platforms. Demonstration projects are under development for fishfarm sites and an island community.[9] | |
| AMOG, AEP WEC | Falmouth | Cornwall, UK | Surface dynamic vibration absorber | Offshore | Electric | 2019 |  |
| Anaconda Wave Energy Converter | Checkmate SeaEnergy. | Surface-following attenuator | Offshore | Hydroelectric turbine | 2008 | In the early stages of development, the device is a 200 metres (660 ft) long rubber tube which is tethered underwater. Passing waves will instigate a wave inside the tube, which will then propagates down its walls, driving a turbine at the far end.[12][13] | |
| AquaBuOY | Finavera Wind Energy, later SSE Renewables Limited | Ireland-Canada-Scotland | Buoy | Offshore | Hydroelectric turbine | 2003 | In 2009 Finavera Renewables surrendered its wave energy permits from FERC.[27] In July 2010 Finavera announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell all assets and intellectual property related to the AquaBuOY wave energy technology.[14][15][16][17] |
| Atmocean | Atmocean Inc. | USA | Point Absorber array | Nearshore & offshore | Pump-to-shore | 2006 | The Atmocean array consists of 15, 3m diameter surface buoys. Instead of direct seafloor connections, the entire array is anchored at 6 points. Each buoy uses passing waves to pump seawater into the system and send it onshore where it goes directly into an R/O desalination process without the need for an external energy source. Advantages of smaller modular system include using standard shipping containers and small boat operations. Two full scale trials were deployed off the coast of Ilo Perú in 2015. Additional are set for 2017.[18] |
| AWS-iii | AWS Ocean Energy | UK (Scotland) | Surface-following attenuator? | Offshore | Air turbine | 2010 | The AWS-III is a floating toroidal vessel. It has rubber membranes on the outer faces which deform as waves pass, moving air inside chambers which in turn drive air-turbines to generate electricity. AWS Ocean tested a 1/9 scale model in Loch Ness in 2010, and are now working on a full sized version which will be 60m across and should generate 2.5 MW. It is envisage these will be installed in offshore farms moored in around 100m depth of water.[19][20][21][22] |
| CalWave Inc. | US | Submerged pressure differential | Offshore | In 2021, CalWave Power Technologies, Inc.[23] commissioned its pilot unit device off the coast of San Diego.[24] | |||
| CCell | Zyba Renewables | United Kingdom | Oscillating wave surge converter | Nearshore & offshore | Hydraulic | 2015 | CCell is a directional WEC consisting of a curved flap operating mainly in the surge direction of wave propagation. Being curved gives the device two advantages over flat paddle oscillating wave surge converters: the energy is dissipated over a long arc reducing the wave height, and the shape cuts through the waves which reduces turbulence on the boundaries. In addition, unlike other oscillating wave surge converters, the latest version of CCell is designed to float just under the water surface, maximising the available wave energy. The developers claim this makes CCell the world's most efficient wave energy device.[25] |
| CETO Wave Power | Carnegie | Australia | Buoy | Offshore | Pump-to-shore | 1999 | As of 2008, the device is being tested off Fremantle, Western Australia,[35] the device consists of a single piston pump attached to the sea floor with a float (buoy) tethered to the piston. Waves cause the float to rise and fall, generating pressurized water, which is piped to an onshore facility to drive hydraulic generators or run reverse osmosis water desalination.[26][27] |
| Crestwing | Crestwing ApS | Denmark | Surface-following attenuator | Offshore | Mechanical | 2011 | The device consists of two floats connected by a hinge and uses the atmospheric pressure acting on its large surface to stick to the ocean. This allows it to follow the waves, using the motion of the two floats to convert both kinetic and potential energy to electricity by a mechanical power take-off system. In 2014, there was a 1:5 scale model being tested in the sea near Frederikshavn. In 2017 the successor, a full-scale prototype is ready to be tested. This will be the last test before Crestwing is going commercial. This technology has multiple benefits over comparable wave energy technologies. The device will break the waves and draw the power from it in such a way, it gives it an extra function as a coastal protection device in exposed coastal areas.[28] |
| Cycloidal Wave Energy Converter | Atargis Energy Corporation | USA | Fully Submerged Wave Termination Device | Offshore | Direct Drive Generator | 2006 | In the tank testing stage of development, the device is a 20 metres (66 ft) diameter fully submerged rotor with two hydrofoils. Numerical studies have shown greater than 99% wave power termination capabilities.[29] These were confirmed by experiments in a small 2D wave flume[30] as well as a large offshore wave basin. |

| Oceanus 2 | Seatricity Ltd | UK | Buoy | Nearshore and Offshore | Pump-to-shore | 2007 | The Oceanus 2 device is the first and only device yet to have been deployed and tested at the UK's WaveHub test site as a full-scale prototype (2014-2016). The 3rd generation device consists of a single piston patented pump mounted on a gimbal and supported by an aluminium 12m diameter buoy/float. The pump is then tethered to the seabed. Vertical wave motion is used to pump seawater to hydraulic pressures which is then piped to an onshore facility to drive hydraulic generators or run reverse osmosis water desalination. Multiple devices deployed in arrays provide modularity, resilience and redundancy. |
| OE buoy | Ocean Energy | Ireland | Buoy | Offshore | Air turbine | 2006 | In September 2009 completed a 2-year sea trial in one quarter scale form. The OE buoy has only one moving part.[49] A full-scale version commenced construction in Oregon in 2018 and is scheduled to deploy to the US Navy's Wave Energy Test Site (WETS) in 2019.[50] |
| OWEL | Ocean Wave Energy Ltd | UK | Wave Surge Converter | Offshore | Air turbine | 2013 | The surging motion of long period waves compresses air in a tapered duct which is then used to drive an air turbine mounted on top of the floating vessel.[51] The design of a full scale demonstration project was completed in Spring 2013, ready for fabrication.[52] |
| Oyster wave energy converter | Aquamarine Power | UK (Scots-Irish) | Oscillating wave surge converter | Nearshore | Pump-to-shore (hydro-electric turbine) | 2005 | A hinged mechanical flap attached to the seabed captures the energy of nearshore waves. It drives hydraulic pistons to deliver high pressure water to an onshore turbine which generates electricity. In November 2009, the first full-scale demonstrator Oyster began producing power at the European Marine Energy Centre's wave test site at Billia Croo in Orkney. In 2015, Aquamarine entered administration.[53] |
| Pelamis Wave Energy Converter | Pelamis Wave Power | UK (Scottish) | Surface-following attenuator | Offshore | Hydraulic | 1998 | As waves pass along a series of semi-submerged cylindrical sections linked by hinged joints, the sections move relative to one another. This motion activates hydraulic cylinders which pump high pressure oil through hydraulic motors which drive electrical generators.[54] The first working Pelamis machine was installed in 2004 at the European Marine Energy Center (EMEC) in Orkney. Here, it became the world's first offshore wave energy device to generate electricity into a national grid anywhere in the world.[55] The later P2, owned by E.ON, started grid connected tests off Orkney in 2010.[56] The company went into administration in November 2014[57] and the device is no longer being developed.

| PowerBuoy | Ocean Power Technologies | US | Buoy | Offshore | Hydroelectric turbine | 1997 | The Pacific Northwest Generating Cooperative is funding construction of a commercial wave-power park at Reedsport, Oregon using buoys.[60] The rise and fall of the waves moves a rack and pinion within the buoy and spins a generator.[61] The electricity is transmitted by a submerged transmission line. The buoys are designed to be installed one to five miles (8.0 km) offshore in water 100 to 200 feet (30 to 61 m) deep.[62] |
| R38/50 kW, R115/150 kW | 40South Energy | UK | Underwater attenuator | Offshore | Electrical conversion | 2010 | These machines work by extracting energy from the relative motion between one Upper Member and one Lower Member, following an innovative method which earned the company one UKTI Research & Development Award in 2011.[63] A first generation full-scale prototype for this solution was tested offshore in 2010,[64][65] and a second generation full-scale prototype was tested offshore during 2011.[66] In 2012 the first units were sold to clients in various countries, for delivery within the year.[67][68] The first reduced scale prototypes were tested offshore during 2007, but the company decided to remain in a "stealth mode" until May 2010[69] and is now recognized as one of the technological innovators in the sector.[70] The company initially considered installing at Wave Hub in 2012,[71] but that project is on hold for now. The R38/50 kW is rated at 50 kW while the R115/150 kW is rated at 150 kW. |

| Wavepiston | Wavepiston ApS | Denmark | Oscillating wave surge converter | Nearshore | Pump-to-shore (hydro-electric turbine) | 2013 | The idea behind this concept is to reduce the mooring means for wave energy structures. Wavepiston systems use vertical plates to exploit the horizontal movement in ocean waves. By attaching several plates in parallel on a single structure the forces applied on the structure by the plates will tend to neutralize each other. This neutralization reduces the required mooring means. “Force cancellation” is the term used by the inventors of the technology to describe the neutralization of forces. Test and numerical models prove that force cancellation reduces the means for mooring and structure to 1/10. The structure is a steel wire stretched between two mooring points. The wire is a strong and flexible structure well suited for off shore use. The mooring is slack mooring. When the vertical plates move back and forth they produce pressurized water. The pressurized water is transported to a turbine through PE pipes. A central turbine station then converts it to electric power. Calculations on the current design show capital cost of EUR 0,89 per installed watt. |
| Wave Dragon | Erik Friis-Madsen | Denmark | Overtopping device | Offshore | Hydroelectric turbine | 2003 | With the Wave Dragon wave energy converter large wing reflectors focus waves up a ramp into an offshore reservoir.

| Wave Star | Wave Star A/S | Denmark | Multi-point absorber | Offshore | Hydroelectric turbine | 2000 | The Wavestar machine draws energy from wave power with floats that rise and fall with the up and down motion of waves. The floats are attached by arms to a platform that stands on legs secured to the sea floor. The motion of the floats is transferred via hydraulics into the rotation of a generator, producing electricity. Wave Star has been testing a 1:10 machine since 2005 in Nissum Bredning, Denmark, it was taken out of duty in November 2011. A 1:2 Wave Star machine is in place in Hanstholm which has produced electricity to the grid since September 2009.[90] Scrapped in 2016.[91]  |
| Wave Carpet | Paul Mario Koola | USA | Very Large Flexible Floating Structure | Offshore | Smart Materials | 2003 | Wave Carpet is a novel deep offshore wave-power floating system concept funded by the US Navy that will have low overall life cycle cost due to an integrated design, be rapidly re-deployable, be easier to maintain and have inherent reliability by design, ensure better steady power output from the randomly fluctuating input wave power using built-in energy storage and an internal electric grid, be dynamically positioned, have non-corrosive maintenance-free hull design, have self-propulsion by advanced controls with minimal tug power and also act as a wave damper thereby sharing the cost of power generated.

| Parasitic Power Pack (P3) | Paul Mario Koola | USA | Power for 4" Diameter Sonobuoy | Aircraft Deployed Sensor | 2010 | A robust maintenance-free Parasitic Power Pack (P3) that is modularly inserted into “free floating” buoy systems deployed in Distributed Sensor Networks by the submarine fleet of the U.S. Navy to increase situational awareness and battlegroup integration by enabling Communications at Speed and Depth (CSD). P3 will not interfere with the antenna on the upper portion of the buoy and will not occupy more than 20 inches in length producing a steady power output of at least 40 milliwatts with a capacity to store at least 60 joules of energy. Of the different energy harvesting concepts for powering wireless sensors we use the incessant oscillations of the ocean waves under which the buoy is excited. Unlike regular wave energy devices that are tuned to ocean waves, we have a platform whose dimensions are preset for a specific purpose. Our intent was to design to this platform specifications to produce a robust maintenance free design that will survive other operating conditions that it could be subjected to. |
