The Swedish company CorPower Ocean manufactures wave energy converters. These are point absorbers in which a floating buoy on the surface absorbs the energy of the ocean waves. The buoy is connected to the seabed with a tensioned anchoring system. CorPower's innovative "Wavespring Phase Control Technology" allows the systems to resonate with the incoming waves, significantly increasing movement and energy absorption. The system has improved survivability in storms and is more compact, lighter and cost-effective compared to conventional point absorbers.
