Wave-energy
over a larger range of the wave spectrum. Incoming waves stimulates resonance
at a longer coupling length.

A 600 kW Wells turbine was build up at a Norwegian island. Two severe storms
destroyed these installation.
Further technologies to convert wave energy
Oyster systems
A kind of a flap is teathered in intermediate water (~ 10 meter in depth) and is
connected via a subsea pipeline to an onshore hydroelectricity generating plant. A
315 kW oyster system operates in Scotland since 2009. The plan is to build up a
2.3 MW system with three linked systems. The deployment started in 2011.
