High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An OE Buoy or Ocean Energy Buoy is a Wave Power device that that was deployed in half scale test mode in Spiddal near Galway in Ireland for 2 years. It was developed by the HMRC in Cork and is now owned and developed by the spun off Oceanenergy. Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface waves, and the capture of that energy to do useful work — for example for electricity generation, water desalination, or the pumping of water (into reservoirs). Wave power is distinct from the diurnal flux of tidal power and the steady gyre of ocean currents. Wave power generation is not currently a widely employed commercial technology although there have been attempts at using it since at least 1890. The world's first commercial wave farm is based in Portugal, at the Agucadoura Wave Park, which consists of three 750 kilowatt Pelamis devices.
