Meet the Team
Tegan Brookman, Support Services Manager
What is your role at and what did you do before coming to Carnegie?
I am the Support Services Manager at Carnegie. I have responsibility for company
communications, human resources, IT, administration and occupational health and
safety. Prior to coming to Carnegie I spent over five years in administration and office
management roles.

CETO 5 Units Successfully Retrieved for Decommissioning
What has been the best moment of your time at Carnegie? My favourite
memories are of deploying CETO units. It’s always such an intense period leading up
to the commissioning and operation of any CETO project with everyone giving it their
all and investing so much in the technology development. The satisfaction and joy of a
successful deployment and the first moments of operation really does make the hard
work worth it.
Jamie Pickles, Undergraduate Mechanical Engineer
What is your role at Carnegie and what did you do before coming to Carnegie?
I’m currently an Undergraduate Mechanical Engineer for Carnegie. Before taking on
my engineering studies I worked in injury management at various mines in the Pilbara
and Northern Territory. What is your favourite memory of your time at Carnegie? My favourite memory
would have to be working as a plant operator when there were big swells. I walked up
over the dunes, armed with binoculars, to check the Units and was able to see the big
sets move over the buoys then hear the motors responding to the power of the waves.
About CETO Wave Energy Technology
Named after a Greek sea goddess, CETO offers the potential to revolutionise power and water production
globally. CETO harnesses the enormous renewable energy present in waves and converts it into two of the
most valuable commodities underpinning the sustainable growth of the plant; zero-emission electricity and
zero-emission desalinated water.
The CETO system is different from other wave energy devices as it operates underwater where it is safer from
large storms and invisible from the shore. The technology is capable for generating power onshore or offshore
depending on the specific characteristics of a project site.
CETO technology characteristics include:
• Converts ocean wave energy into zero-emission electricity and desalinated water.
• Environmentally friendly; has minimal visual impact and attracts marine life.
• Fully-submerged in deep water, away from breaking waves and beachgoers, and unaffected by storms.
During the last quarter, Carnegie continued to operate the Perth Wave Energy Project (PWEP) and the
desalination pilot plant on Garden Island. Having achieved over 14,000 in-ocean hours across 12 months
the operational phase of this project is now complete.
With all CETO 5 units safely retrieved and back ashore for inspection and decommissioning, final analysis
of key engineering and environmental data collected across all four seasons is taking place in parallel
with CETO 6 project activities.
CETO 6, Carnegie’s commercial platform, will also be located offshore from Garden Island in Western
Australia, with project construction starting in 2016 ahead of project commissioning in 2017.
CETO 6 development has been based on results from CETO 5’s in-ocean hours, as well as wave tank
testing at FloWave and Carnegie’s own internal modelling and design development.
CETO 6 will deliver approximately four times the rated capacity of the CETO 5 generation, with other
advancements including: more control capability, rapid installation and onshore power delivered via an
electrical export cable to eliminate hydraulic transmission losses. Project Highlights

First demonstration of a grid-connected CETO array anywhere in the world.
Over 14,000 in-ocean hours spanning 12 months and all four seasons.
Largest capacity CETO unit developed to date.
World first wave powered desalination plant. Strong correlation between power outputs, modelled and measured results. Only wave project to consist of three units operating together in an array. Verified CETO technology has minimal environmental impact.
Next steps: independent review of project results, decommissioning of individual units. Carnegie Wave Energy Project Newsletter, Issue 9, March 2016

Carnegie Wave Energy’s CETO 6 Concept Design
• CETO 6 will be located offshore at Garden Island in Western Australia and is supported by the
Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
• The concept design for this next generation CETO unit is complete with preliminary design now
underway.
• The concept design is the culmination of work that commenced in 2012 and incorporates lessons learnt from CETO 5, wave tank testing in Scotland as well as internal design and modelling • The next generation has a target capacity -of some four times the output of the previous
generation.
• For more information on CETO 6 and what it means for you, please see the community information sheet located on our website.
