Introduction

This device concept was inspired by a device known as CETO5 (Carnegie Clean Energy, 2017), which is a bottom-referenced point absorber design. It consists of a cylindrical buoy which is submerged a couple of metres below the still water line. The device is tethered to a hydraulic pump-based power take-off mechanism which is located on the seabed.
