1 Modelling and Assessment of Marine Renewable Energy Resources Andrew Cornett Canadian Hydraulics Centre National Research Council Canada May 2008
2 Background Pan-Canadian resource inventory in 2005/06 Canada endowed with rich wave energy resources along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts Numerous sites with rich tidal current energy resources identified and assessed Further investigation required to refine, improve and verify initial estimates in many areas Further investigations in 2007/08 Focus on regions/resources with industry activity and interest Near-shore waves on the west coast of Vancouver Island River current resources along the St. Lawrence Tidal current resources in the Bay of Fundy MarKE Marine Kinetic Energy Explorer
3 Wave energy devices What kind of technologies? WET EnGen OPD -Pelamis Kinetic flow devices (i.e. turbines for tidal flows and rivers) Not tidal barrages Not low-head hydro Not conventional hydro Clean Current Verdant Power
4 Atlantic Canada Wave Energy Resource ~24 kw/m ~10 kw/m ~43 kw/m ~26 kw/m ~37 kw/m
5 Annual mean wave power from WW3-NWA hindcast kw/m close to shore?? 0.25 by 0.25 resolution 3 hour time interval 5+ year simulation Extensive validation Unreliable close to shore Data courtesy NOAA-MMAB
6 Potential Tidal Kinetic Energy - Canada
7 Potential Tidal Kinetic Energy Atlantic Canada At least 15 good sites in N.S. with >2,000MW of potential power Tide range
8 Tidal Currents - Bay of Fundy Developed a large 3D hydrodynamic model Irregular finite-element mesh, 1,045,000 triangular elements, 5 levels High-resolution in key areas (~100m elements) Telemac-3D solver Calibrated/verified the model to water levels and current measurements Simulated a typical 14-day spring-neap tide cycle Detailed characterization of the kinetic energy resource at key locations Created MarKE-Fundy - A Marine Kinetic Energy Explorer for the Bay of Fundy
