S.D.E. Energy Ltd
Israel manufacturer and marketer of Sea Wave Power Plants - utilizing sea wave energy to produce electricity economically. Eight energy modules have been built and tested. A full-scale oceanfront model was operated in Israel and produced 40 kW/h for 8 months. Plans for cnstructing and Operating a 10 MW Station in Ashdod, Israel. – The power plant is expected to be built within 36 months. It has been assumed that the power plant will be operated during 75% of the year with an output of 90%.. s agreed with the national electric company, the sale price of 1 kW/h will be 5.25¢. http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:S.D.E._Energy_Ltd.

Ocean Navitas Ltd, Aegir Dynamo™ 93% conversion efficiency

CETO Wave Energy http://www.ceto.com.au/ceto-technology/what-is-ceto.php
By delivering high pressure seawater ashore, the technology allows either zero-emission electricity to be produced (similar to hydroelectricity) or zero-emission freshwater (utilising standard reverse osmosis desalination technology).
Results of initial in-sea trials of its CETO II wave energy technology show near perfect correlation with results predicted by CETO computational models, confirming its design and clearing the way for deployment of the first commercial CETO II units within weeks.

Sea Dog Pump
The SEADOGTM pump captures ocean-wave energy to pump large volumes of seawater, consuming no fuel or electricity and creates no polluting by-products in the process. There are many applications for the SEADOGTM pump from power generation to aquafarming. INRITM is currently developing seawater desalination systems and hydroelectric energy generation. Prototype performance testing has been performed in INRI’sTM internal development lab, in the Texas A&M Offshore Technology Research Center’s wave tank, and most recently, in actual ocean trials conducted off the coast of Freeport, TX. The test results have confirmed that SEADOGTM pump technology can be a viable means of harvesting renewable power from ocean waves. http://www.inri.us/pages/2/index.htm

Neo-AeroDynamic wind or tidal power
