Core Power's wave energy converters harness clean energy from ocean waves using a heaving buoy inspired by the human heart. The technology, backed by 40 years of research, features a lightweight, low-cost design that maximizes energy generation and withstands harsh ocean conditions. The buoy converts wave energy into electricity through rotational motion. Phase control technology allows the buoy to adapt to varying sea conditions, enhancing efficiency and providing storm protection. Each converter, rated at 300 kilowatts, is anchored to the seabed and can be part of large-scale energy farms, powering thousands of homes.
