Abstract: This research studies several possibilities to improve the efficiency of the Mutriku breakwater wave power plant. The experimental work has been carried out in the 12.5 m long wave flume located at the laboratory of Fluid Mechanics of the Energy Engineering Department (UPV/EHU). The physically constructed oscillating water column device corresponds to one of the 16 chambers of the Mutriku breakwater wave power plant, according to the construction plan and applying a 1:36 scale. All the experiments were carried out at two tides that correspond to the medium and maximum tides of Mutriku location. A constant incident regular waves of 30 mm were generated at several periods; 0.7
