List of wave power stations
The following 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 on List of wave power projects.
Wave farms are classified into 8 types based on the technology used, such as Surface-following attenuator, Point absorber, Oscillating wave surge converter, Oscillating water column, Overtopping/Terminator, Submerged pressure differential, Bulge wave device, and Rotating mass.
