Fundy Tidal
In November of 2010, New Energy provided a 5 kW system to Fundy Tidal to demonstrate power generation in a tidal environment. A fishing boat was used to tow the unit in the Grand Passage. Measurements were made on power generation in the current and waves in the channel. This was the first tidal power generated in the Bay of Fundy. As this was a small system supported by a small boat, an interaction between the boat and waves was observed. Thus for open water, a longer hull length will be required and it is anticipated that a much larger and more robust New Energy system would be deployed in an open water application.
