Grant: Strategic Workshops Program
Cape Breton University
$24,951.00
Marine Renewable Energy Engineering Research Workshop
FY 2014-15
Summary
The national transition from fossil to renewable energy is a necessary but difficult challenge for all Canadians.We all have a role to play, and engineers, scientists and business people have a particular responsibility to worktogether on emerging, enabling technologies and their applications. Currently, there is no in-stream tidalelectricity generator operating in Canada on which to conduct experiments. This lack inhibits the essentialtransition from laboratory to the real ocean. A focused workshop is convened by academic and industrypartners to design a tidal turbine test facility and a program of research for the medium to low energyenvironments that characterize the majority of the coastal zone. Guidance and advice will be provided by topresearchers and practitioners from across Canada and across the Atlantic. The results will be made available toall interested parties.
