Seatricity Oceanus 2
Oceanus 2 is Seatricity’s second generation wave energy device. In the simplest terms, a float travels up and down with the waves and operates a pump to pressurise sea water which is then piped ashore. Electrical generation and other vulnerable components are sited ashore where they are accessible and protected from the ravages of the marine environment. Many individual Oceanus devices can be connected together in arrays to produce substantial amounts of pressurised water. Our patented pump is a self latching double acting hydraulic pump point absorber. This means it retracts to the lowest point of the wave trough before pumping.
