Telemetry and Control System INDUSTRY Renewables Energy THE CHALLENGE With the development of renewable energy source technology in the UK, the Seatricity Oceanus 2 wave energy device was developed to identify the potential for harnessing wave power generation, a resource which is estimated at around 80,000TWh per year. The Seatricity Oceanus 2 device is a full-scale prototype technology demonstrator. As the buoy moves up and down with the waves, it operates a pump which is anchored to the sea-bed. In a final installation, an array of devices would pump sea water to a central location and be used to power a turbine and generate electricity. The prototype device simply discharges water back into the sea, but measures the pressure a
