Renewable Energy Holdings Reports Successful Test of Onshore Wave Energy
Technology
Renewable Energy Holdings Plc , reported that its CETO energy device has been tested successfully. The device,
which converts energy from columnar wave motion, operates differently than most wave energy machines. The major difference
is that the electricity is generated on-shore as opposed to off-shore. In this way, the need to string electrical cables from
off-shore locations to on-shore is avoided.
When a wave passes over the CETO device, the vertical force of the wave, pushes a column of water downward.
This high pressure stream of water, in the order of 500 psi, is then fed through pipes and a pump system to an onshore location,
where the moving water twirls turbines, which in turn generate electricity.
With the concept proved, Renewable is now looking to commercialize the technology and build an underwater
sea energy facility.
