The CorPower WEC is a point absorber device, fitted with a "WaveSpring" that allows the device to be tuned and detuned depending on the wave conditions, optimising power capture while improving survivability.
CorPower have tested several versions of their technology, most recently the commercial-scale C4 device in Aguçadora, Portugal launched in September 2023. Prior to this, they tested a half scale prototype C3 at EMEC in Orkney, Scotland in 2018/19.
