The MARMOK-A-5 is a prototype of a low power WEC. It is a floating device, is a spar buoy based on OWC technology. The prototype – the result of public pre-commercial procurement by the EVE (Basque Energy Agency) - has a length of 42m (36m draft and 6m freeboard), is 5m in diameter, with a displacement of 162Tm. It was installed on the BiMEP marine energy platform, the first WEC connected to the Spanish state electricity grid, and one of the first devices connected in the world.
