CETO Power & Water

The CETO system is different from other wave energy devices because it operates under water and is anchored to the ocean floor. Several fully submerged buoys are tethered to seabed pump units. The buoys move with the motion of the passing waves and drive pumps. The pumps pressurise water which is delivered onshore via an underwater pipe. Onshore, high-pressure water is used to drive hydroelectric turbines, generating zero-emission electricity. The high-pressure water can also be used to supply a reverse osmosis desalination plant, replacing or reducing the reliance on greenhouse gas-emitting, electrically-driven pumps usually required for such plants. The technology is also capable of generating power offshore should the specific characteristics of a project site require it. CETO technology characteristics include: Converts ocean wave energy into zero-emission electricity and desalinated water. Environmentally friendly, has minimal visual impact and attracts marine life. Fully-submerged in deep water, away from breaking waves and beachgoers, and unaffected by storms.

Perth Wave Energy Project (PWEP) Fact File Upon completion, PWEP will be Australias first commercial-scale CETO grid-connected wave energy project. The project is supported by $13.1m in Australian Government funding through the Australian Renewable Energy Agencys Emerging Renewables Program. PWEP is supported by $7.3 million from the Government of Western Australia's Low Emissions Energy Development (LEED) Fund. This is part of a larger $10 million LEED grant, awarded to Carnegie by the Western Australian Government, to support the development of the CETO technology from concept through to completion of PWEP. The Desalination Pilot is supported by a $1.27m AusIndustry grant from the Clean Technology Innovation Program. Utilising Carnegies fully submerged and commercial proven CETO wave energy device. Providing clean, renewable energy to Australias largest naval base, HMAS Stirling, on Garden Island in Western Australia. Providing potable desalinated water.
