“The whole concept here is to have different technologies being tried out, to see what works best,” says Nova Scotia Energy Minister Michel Samson. Types There are a number of ways in which tidal power can be harnessed. The approaches range from Cape Sharp Tidal’s five-storey-tall turbines to smaller, floating turbine systems. tidal power, also called tidal energy, any form of renewable energy in which tidal action in the oceans is converted to electric power.
Several renewable energy companies, including Minas Energy and Black Rock Tidal Power Inc., are testing turbine technologies in the Bay of Fundy-considered the “holy grail” of tidal energy potential. “It will be the first grid-connected device at the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE), and the largest in North America.” “The subsea cable operation marks a significant milestone for global tidal energy development,” says Cape Sharp Tidal. Clean, green, perpetual energy generation TPGen24 is the next leap forward in renewable energy, the first system to generate green electricity 24/7, 365 days a year using the power of our planet’s tidal ranges. and OpenHydro, a DCNS company, eventually plans to set up a pair of two-megawatt (MW), in-stream tidal turbines at the site-establishing North America’s first tidal array connected to an electrical grid. Tidal Power 24 Tidal Energy project creating electricity 24 hours a day. Cape Sharp Tidal, a joint venture between Emera Inc. The turbine was expected to begin generating electricity immediately. That’s what Cape Sharp Tidal thinks, too-because in recent weeks, the company successfully deployed a 1,000-tonne turbine at a test site near Parrsboro, N.S.
