October will be a busy month

"The country’s peak science body is working with ARENA on an Australian wave energy atlas which Hemer says links in with its Australian Renewable Energy Mapping Infrastructure project. A beta version of the wave energy atlas is finished but a formal release is expected in October, he says. Part of the project involved working with Carnegie Wave Energy and looking at the modulation of the wave field around its devices in Western Australia.

October will be a busy month for the ocean energy crowd, with researchers, service providers and policy-makers expected to congregate in Melbourne for the inaugural Australian Ocean Renewable Energy Symposium, scheduled for October 18 to 20. Australia has one of the leading projects in the world but the industry hasn’t collected into a coordinated sector. Until that happens it may be hard to build a profile."

"The CETO 6 device will be 18m in diameter (7m wider than CETO 5) and placed about 9km offshore where the wave energy is about three times greater than at the previous location."
