ACHIEVE
CETO Wave Energy Ireland: ACHIEVE
The ACHIEVE Project deploys a CETO prototype which integrates new innovative technologies with a focus on optimising performance. Work to date provides step change improvements while retaining compelling features such as fully submerged operation which minimises visual impact and offers inherent protection from breaking waves and extreme storms.
The CETO prototype will capture nearly twice as much energy as the previously deployed design. With three taught connections to seabed, CETO captures energy from all primary wave forces. Advanced control, including AI, further optimises capture and survivability through dynamic adjustment of CETO’s position and angle in the water column.
Converting the linear motion of the CETO buoy into electricity is the new electric rotary Power Take-Off. Operating like a futuristic winch, this system resists the motion of the buoy and in doing so, generates clean, renewable electricity at higher efficiencies than ever before.
ACHIEVE unlocks commercial opportunities for CETO in Europe and globally where wave energy can contribute to the renewable energy mix required to achieve a just transition to a climate neutral economy.
