A couple of things caught eye from this newsletter:

"Strong correlation between power output, modelled and measured results (within <10% variance)."

This suggests that the modelling and forecasts that they have given up until now have been accurate.  It should give us confidence that the forecasts that they are making for Ceto 6 will also be close to the mark.

There are several projects in the ongoing R & D that had not been raised previously as far as I am aware.

Wave Energy Scotland (WES) funded Artemis hydraulic motor digital displacement technology applied to CETO.
• Partner in the SUPEGEN funded “E-Drive” linear generator project with University of Edinburgh applied to CETO.
• Wave tank testing to be conducted at FloWave & Plymouth University’s COAST facility in April 2016 for CETO 6.
• Collaboration Agreement with Atlantis Resources focused on electrical architecture.
• University of Western Australia’s (UWA) Centre for Offshore Foundation Studies (COFS) development of novel foundation technologies and improvements in calculation of load cases for CETO.
• University of Adelaide development of control strategies to increase efficiency of CETO.
• University of Dublin collaboration to optimise hydrodynamics performance through BA shape studies.

No mention of Bosch Rexroth's WavePOD could mean that they are not yet ready to meet CWE's schedule for Ceto 6.  Or, it could mean that CWE has found a better option.

WavePOD is an all of industry project, so CWE are not compelled to use this technology as far as I am aware.  I think it would be to CWE's advantage to have several companies competing to have their technology in Ceto 6.
