The first wave-producing model of electricity from the sea

Ocean energy is a trend in Australia.

The system exploits electricity from waves

Carnegie Wave Energy, an Australian energy company, has recently unveiled a partnership with Western Power's government-owned power company, Western Power, which plans to build a power generation model based on the energy of the waves. .

This new system will be located under the sea, located off the coast of Garden Island about 10km. And if everything goes according to plan, these underground systems will be replicated to the island states of the continent.

"Carnergie recognizes the huge potential of this new field, which incorporates the world's leading CETO technology capable of harnessing the power of waves, which will be effective when placed in strong waves. as Australia, " said Michael Ottaviano, CEO of Carnergie.

CETO units are like completely submerged floats, called vibration transmitters , connected to another pump located on the seafloor. Vibrating transmitters receive thrust from the underwater waves, and vibration is transmitted to the pumps, whereby large amounts of water are pushed under high pressure to help hydropower plants operate.

Carnergie has developed CETO technology for nearly 10 years, and has also successfully tested it several times. Earlier this year, the company completed a wave energy project based in Perth and started generating electricity through its CETO 5 system. The upcoming Microgrid Garden Island project uses CETO 6 advanced, which is expected to produce energy for 2000 to 3000 homes.

At present, this energy source is being used by the Australian government for defense purposes and a desalination plant near its operational area.
