Limerick Wave

Limerick Wave Ltd is a wave energy research company which focuses on the development of Power Take Off (PTO) systems. The company was set up 10 years ago by Patrick Kelly, who has over forty years’ experience in tool design working at the University of Limerick. Patrick was later joined by Dr. Patrick Walsh BEng, PhD, CEng, who is a lecturer in the Mechanical and Automobile Department at Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT).

Limerick Wave & Aontreo

Limerick Wave’s mission is to turn the mechanical power of the waves (tides) into electrical power for general consumption. Limerick Wave Ltd. has developed an innovative Power Take Off (PTO) technology called Aontreo. The use of the PTO technology in this area is novel in that, its rotation is uni-directional, despite the bi-directional natural oscillation of the flotation device.

•Patent Application No. 10723800.8
•Patent Grant No. 2425123

Wave Energy Converter (WEC) 

The Limerick Wave PTO technology is suited to any WEC device that captures the two way motion of the waves. This two way motion is mechanically converted into one direction to drive an electrical   generator that along with the PTO is protected from the harsh environment of the sea.

About us: 

Limerick Wave’s technology provides a unique approach to the challenge of harnessing energy from the ocean. The main cylindrical unit of the device, which consists of a generator connected   to a gearing system to generate energy from a flywheel, is mounted on a frame that is attached to a Wave Energy Converter (WEC). The oscillatory motion of the sea surface is captured by the WEC using a floatation device connected to the main cylindrical body. The key innovations, which set this device ahead of its competitors, are protected under a patent. These innovations represent a major breakthrough in energy wave conversion technology as it can be tuned and controlled to efficiently match the fluctuating wave climate.
