Summary

Agucadoura Wave Farm]] in Portugal

This 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 at List of wave power projects.

Wave farms are classified into eight types based on the technology used: surface-following attenuator, point absorber, oscillating wave surge converter, oscillating water column, overtopping/terminator, submerged pressure differential, bulge wave device, and rotating mass.
