Wave energy, finally unlocked.

The Wavespring is the breakthrough that unlocks wave energy’s true potential. This patented phase-control technology functions like a “negative spring,” allowing the buoy to tune into wave motion and amplify energy capture in regular sea states. In extreme conditions, it automatically detunes, significantly reducing system loads and limiting vertical movement to a less than 2% during storms. This function provides 3x increase in energy production for a given buoy size, strongly contributing to the system achieving 5× more energy per tonne than conventional designs.

CorPower’s Cascade Gearbox converts the powerful up-and-down motion of ocean waves into rotary motion for power generation. Unlike conventional gearboxes, it splits heavy loads across several small pinions working together in a compact, lightweight unit, reducing size and mechanical stress. While the gearbox itself is highly efficient and robust—designed for over 100 million load cycles—CorPower’s complete power take-off system achieves 96–99% overall conversion efficiency from mechanical motion to electrical power.

Inspired by the heart’s ability to store pressure for the return stroke, the PTC provides an elegant solution to buoy centring and storm readiness. It uses pneumatic pretension to create downward force, replacing the need for heavy ballast. This design reduces structural weight, cuts cost, and allows the system to naturally detune in extreme conditions. It also improves survivability and dynamic response without compromising efficiency.

Lightweight, spherical, and strong—CorPower Ocean’s composite hull is optimized for both performance and production. Manufactured via a mobile factory concept, buoy hulls can be built locally, reducing transportation emissions, enabling regional scaling, and supporting job creation. The spherical design, the strongest shape in nature, improves structural strength and reduces material use, contributing to an overall structural efficiency of ~10 MWh/tonne. Low visual impact and marine-friendly materials make this hull a long-term, ocean-safe solution.

Designed to overcome traditional marine anchoring challenges, the UMACK system delivers 5× greater holding capacity than conventional monopiles. Installed and retrieved using low-noise vibro-hammer technology, it avoids the loud, pile-driving techniques that can harm marine life. This system is fully retrievable, enabling complete site restoration at end-of-life and supporting circular deployment. It’s a foundation built for strength, environmental integrity, and future scalability.

CorPower Ocean’s Advanced Control was co-developed with experts from NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) and fine-tuned through extensive digital twin modeling, simulation, and ocean validation.

The AI component continuously analyses wave patterns and predicts ocean behaviour, enabling adaptive, optimised control decisions. Coupled with remote monitoring and diagnostics, this advanced system delivers significantly higher energy yield and reliability, supports autonomous operation, and reduces extreme loads by 80–90% compared to competing systems – ensuring safe and efficient performance even in harsh conditions.
