Carnegie Clean Energy CETO 5
The CETO 5 if a fifth generation of Carnegie Clean Energy's wave energy converter technology, consisting of a submerged buoy, known as the Buoyant Actuator (BA), driving a hydraulic cylinder which pressurizes the working fluid in a pipeline back to shore. The pressurized fluid then drives a hydro-electric system, thereby producing power for the electricity network. The CETO 5 units have a rated capacity of 240 kW and are 11 m in diameter.
