CETO Wave Energy Ireland, a subsidiary of Carnegie Clean Energy, has received a payment from EuropeWave of €63,688 reflecting the approval of two deliverables relating to the deployment of the CETO Wave Energy Converter (WEC) at the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) site.
The payment, under the EuropeWave Phase 3 contract, follows the approval of two deliverables, including a license to deploy the CETO device in BiMEP from the relevant Spanish national energy authorities, and the completion of the control program for the upcoming cascade PTO test.
As a test site, BiMEP has already obtained a general license from the coastal and industrial/energy authorities of the Spanish Government. Carnegie said the installation of any WEC prototype at BiMEP would require notification of the competent authority for energy due to connection to the grid and the competent authority for coastal affairs due to the occupation of the seabed.
CETO is a fully submerged point absorber type wave energy technology device. A buoy is submerged a few meters below the surface and moves with the ocean waves. This orbital motion powers the PTO system which converts this motion into electricity.
The unit will operate at BiMEP for two years, collecting data to validate the CETO technology and enhance commercialization.
As Carnegie recently reported Completion of fabrication and manufacturing For several major components of the unit, with final component manufacturing work packages being implemented.
