The MARMOK A 5 is a floating wave energy converter based on oscillating water column technology, which transforms wave motion into electricity by means of a turbine. The device incorporates controllable blades, on-board batteries and intelligent control systems, aimed at optimizing its operation in real conditions of operation on the high seas.<\/p>\n

This technology has a relevant precedent in BiMEP, where an earlier version of this same device was tested between 2016 and 2019, the first of its kind in the State. The new campaign will make it possible to advance the technological validation of the system and obtain key information for its future scalability.<\/p>\n

The device will be electrically connected to the network through the Lab platform, integrated into the BiMEP infrastructures. This connection will allow to evacuate the generated energy and monitor the behaviour of the system during the testing period.<\/p>\n

During the coming months, the MARMOK A 5 will be evaluated in real operating conditions, with the aim of verifying its performance, robustness, reliability and ease of maintenance in the demanding marine environment. The data obtained will be fundamental to evaluate the design and move towards future pre-commercial phases of the technology.<\/p>\n

This new device consolidates BiMEP in its role as a test bench for cutting-edge energy technologies and as a catalyst for collaboration between public institutions, technology centers and industrial companies. The deployment is part of a broader strategy to support innovation in marine energy, aligned with the Basque Government’s Energy Transition and decarbonisation objectives, and reinforces the Basque Country’s position in the development of clean energy solutions with long-term commercial potential for the whole of Europe.<\/p>\n

The financing of this facility is part of the European innovation programme EuropeWave.<\/p>\n

Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) has received a new floating device developed by IDOM, the MARMOK‑A5. This prototype wave energy converter has been successfully deployed in the marine testing area of BiMEP, located off the coast of Bizkaia, reinforcing the role of this infrastructure for testing and research of marine energy technologies in Europe.
