Creating a Workplan for Offshore Wind Pathways to Market Studies
March – September 2023
Offshore wind electricity has the potential to (1) satisfy domestic electricity demand, (2) be exported to neighbouring jurisdictions, and (3) be used for hydrogen production. It is important for policymakers, power system operators, electricity regulators and other stakeholders to understa

Value mapping Nova Scotia’s Offshore Wind Resources
March – April 2023
Offshore wind is an untapped resource in Nova Scotia, which, if developed, has the potential to enable energy exports, stimulate rural economies, and contribute towards meeting the province’s greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.

Testing of Temporal Monitoring Techniques for Benthic Habitat Impacts of Tidal Energy Developments
September 2011 – November 2014
This project tested and developed monitoring procedures for assessing the impact of the placement of in-stream tidal devices (e.g. turbines, cables and other seafloor hardware) on the seafloor environment.

Atlantic Sturgeon Spatial and Temporal Distribution in Minas Passage, Nova Scotia, Canada, a Region of Future Tidal Energy Extraction
January 2010 – January 2014
In the Bay of Fundy, Atlantic sturgeon from endangered and threatened populations in the USA and Canada migrate through Minas Passage to enter and leave Minas Basin.

Impacts of Tidal Energy Extraction on Sediment Dynamics in Minas Basin, Bay of Fundy
February 2010 – December 2012
Researchers developed a numerical hydrodynamic and sediment transport model for Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy, focusing on the sediment dynamics of the tidal inlets and flats.

Tidal Energy Resource Assessment Map for Nova Scotia
March – October 2012
This project used numerical simulations and theoretical calculations to predict not only the power that can be extracted from the flow through a passage but also the reduction in flow through the passage.

Effects of Energy Extraction on Sediment Dynamics in Intertidal Ecosystems of the Minas Basin
January 2010 – May 2012
This project assessed how the dynamics of sedimentation change when energy is extracted from a macro-tidal system. The differences in tidal prism and energy between neap and spring tidal cycles were used as a proxy for energy extraction by in-stream tidal power devices.

Assessing the Far Field Effects of Tidal Power Extraction on the Bay of Fundy, Gulf of Maine and Scotian Shelf
January 2010 – April 2012
The Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine system has a natural resonant period very close to the main semi-diurnal lunar tide. This results in the world’s highest tides and strong tidal currents in the Bay of Fundy, particularly in the Minas Channel and Minas Basin.
