Wave energy developer Carnegie Wave Energy Limited announced that it has partnered with the Marine Renewable Energy Ireland Centre on a collaborative research project that has been funded in conjunction with Beaufort Research University College Cork.
Carnegie will be collaborating with the Marine Renewable Energy Ireland Centre in a targeted research project to develop tools that will optimise the layout of CETO wave energy arrays and the performance and control of each CETO Unit in the array. Research will be carried out both in virtual computational wave modelling and in the National Ocean Test Facility wave tank.
Carnegie’s Dublin based Exectuive Director, Mr Kieran O’Brien, said:
“Carnegie is excited to be partnering with Beaufort Research as it allows us to leverage their extensive and innovative science and engineering expertise into the further development of the CETO technology”.
