A new type of prototype wave energy converter (WEC) has been deployed at the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP), an open-sea facility to support research, technical testing of multiple prototype devices.

Called MARMOK A 5, the wave energy converter (WEC) will be electrically connected to the network through the Lab platform, integrated into the BiMEP infrastructures.

The device will be evaluated in real operating conditions, with the aim of verifying its performance, robustness, reliability and ease of maintenance in the demanding marine environment.

The device is based on oscillating water column technology, which transforms wave motion into electricity by means of a turbine. The device incorporates controllable blades, on-board batteries and intelligent control systems, aimed at optimizing its operation in real conditions of operation on the high seas.

The MARMOK-A-5 has a length of 42m (36m draft and 6m freeboard), is 5m in diameter, with a displacement of 162Tm. It was installed on the BiMEP marine energy platform, the first WEC connected to the Spanish state electricity grid, and one of the first devices connected in the world.
