Regarding the serious environmental and
energy problem existing in the world, renewable
technology has taken the global attention. The unexploited
huge potential of wave energy challenges the world
scientific community, to achieve a sustainable wave energy
absorption. Mediterranean is a closed sea with lower energy
potential compared to the oceans. However, an efficient
WEC that maximizes the power output not with respect to
the available power but to its characteristics and cost, could
be a feasible solution. A preliminary assessment has been
carried out of a submerged point absorber installed in the
coast of the Pantelleria island. For the design and selection
of the technical characteristics of the WEC a method
proposed by Falnes is followed. In order to control and test
the performance of the device in different situations, a
mathematical model has been constructed in Matlab
Simulink based on the Cummins Equation
