A tidal Energy System has officially launched and is now providing clean power to Nova Scotia's electricity system, making it the first tidal energy to flow into the grid in Canada. Grand Passage's groundbreaking initiative is backed by $28.5 million in funding from the Canadian government - one of the largest tidal energy investments in Canada's history. Sustainable Oceans is working to provide the world's first floating tidal array at FORCE (Fendi Ocean Energy Research Centre). The vast tidal energy resource of the Bay of Fundy contains more than four times the total flow of every freshwater river in the world and has the potential to generate around 2,500 megawatts of green energy. Nova Scotia has allocated approximately 30 megawatts of capacity through FORCE's demonstration permit and berths for developers to demonstrate the effectiveness, costs and environmental impacts associated with this new form of energy production.
The Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary of the Oceanic Energy Administration (BOEM) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced Wednesday the successful digital acoustic tagging of 14 sei whales off the coast of Massachusetts. The sei whale is one of the most endangered large whales in the North Atlantic. This is the first time researchers have successfully tagged an endangered species in the United States using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone. Drones enable researchers to target specific animals in a group or to tag groups.
UK-based subsea services company Modus has commissioned its control room in Darlington, UK. The launch is the culmination of a £24 million ($29.8 million) investment plan. Modus uses a subsea hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle (HAUV) to map underwater topography and inspect pipelines, cables and subsea structures. The vehicles can be deployed internationally and operated from the Darlington control room.
Ohmsett is the only organization in the United States that conducts comprehensive oil spill response research and training in the use of live oil. It is also being used to test renewable energy technologies such as marine hydrodynamic generators. As part of BSEE's ongoing maintenance programme, Ohmsett has undergone major renovations over the past eight months. The facility undergoes extensive maintenance every five years, including the dismantling, dismantling and inspection of major equipment. U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Commandos assisted BSEE in refilling the largest 667-foot wave tank of its kind in North America with seawater from Sandy Hook Bay.
The three-day operation ends on March 24, 2022. Testing, research and training have resumed for domestic and foreign customers as part of the maintenance of the facility is complete. Clients have quickly booked their spots and filled Ohmsett's schedule for the rest of the year.e
