Bay of Fundy - (Canada) - 06/10/2011 - 3B Conseils-Mer-Veille-MRE -
Orignial Article by Francis Rousseau - translated and adapted by Christopher Longmore.
It`s at the Fundy Ocean Research Centre (FORCE) in the Bay of Fundy that Marine Current Turbines (MCT) will soon be testing the latest of its Seagen tidal turbines - the U-Seagen. MCT's choice of location is partly explained by the fact that the Bay of Fundy centre, with the colossal weight of water that rushes in and out of Minas Passage, is the ideal testing ground for tidal turbines. If it stands up to this, there's a good chance that it will stand up to anything else! It's a sort of Canadian version of the pioneeering EMEC in northern Scotland, that is used by many French companies including Alstom, but also Atlantis Resources and OpenHydro use it to test their units in the quest to ensure that tidal turbines are genuinely competitive in the renewable energies market.
