Anthony, Karthik, and Mike sound off on a recent Florida law banning offshore wind, and then are joined by Dr. George Lavidas, Professor of Marine Renewable Energies at TU Delft, to learn about the future of wave and tidal energy.

The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded grants to two entities to enable a deeper dive into tidal energy generation. In this episode of Grid Talk, host Marty Rosenberg talks with Nate Johnson who is the Vice President of Development for ORPC. The Maine based firm will deploy two devices in Cook Inlet, Alaska to further study tidal generation.“For decades folks have been trying to harness marine energy and I would say it's still new because there's only a handful of companies around the world that have achieved that and it's a harsh environment, it's complex,” said Johnson. The first phase of the study is being paid for with a $3 million DOE grant with a goal generating between one and five megawatts of power. “Alaska has an opportunity to produce way more than it needs and produce other forms of electricity, transportable electricity from tidal energies. In Cook Inlet alone in Alaska, we have the potential for 18 gigawatts.”ORPC and the other grant recipient, a team led by Orcas Power and Light Cooperative in Washington, aim to raise the profile of potential tidal power. “A lot of folks aren't aware that there are technologies out there than can produce electricity from tides or from rivers that aren't dammed so we really focus on not only getting the device in the water but working with communities or customers to build awareness in different regions and try to grow that marketplace. That's a big part of what we do.”Nate Johnson leads ORPC's development activities and the implementation of its innovative power systems in cost effective, environmentally responsible ways. A native of Long Island, Maine, Nate has a diverse background that includes renewable energy, commercial fishing, aquaculture, groundwater exploration and development, construction management and environmental engineering. He earned a Bachelor of Applied Science from Tufts University.

This episode explores the tidal energy industry. Tidal energy has great potential around our coastline as a reliable form of renewable energy, however, it is all about getting the technology right to reduce costs and make it cost-effective, as well as having no environmental impact. On a new format of Coastal Catch Ups, I answer questions from previous guests on the podcast. So thank you John Gilmore for this question regarding the results of an experimental tidal energy project in Strangford Lough. Although I was not involved in the project, there were plenty of documents, as well as digging out old field trip notes during University, to delve into. So I share the key things I took from my research with you.The episode covers:What controls the tides?Where is the best place to harness tidal energy?What technology can be used to generate tidal energy?What was the Seagen Project in Strangford?What are the environmental impacts of tidal energy?Is Tidal energy cost-effective?What are the future plans for tidal energy in the UK and Ireland?I hope you enjoy the episode and learn something new about our coasts. Please let me know what you think at sam@coastalcatchups.com.

In partnership with Nova Innovation, we sat down to talk about the past, present, and future state of tidal energy in the UK. Listen to the podcast to get a real insight into the progress happening behind the scenes of tidal and how the UK's tidal sector holds up against the global market. Nova's Chief Operating Officer, Seumas MacKenzie, joined ORE Catapult's Simon Cheeseman, Sector Lead, Wave & Tidal Energy.

As a Royal Navy officer, Stuart Baird was always fascinated with the power of tidal waves. Now as Bluenergy Solutions' chief technology officer, he tells CNA's Julie Yoo why tidal energy is more powerful than wind, and more predictable than solar as a source of renewable energy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Manhattan's East River Tidal project is changing water currents to electrical currents and unlocking the potential for New York's newest renewable energy technology. It's predictable, reliable, and sustainable and now Manhattan Islanders will be using electricity generated by this project to help meet New York's clean energy goals. Find out more about this fascinating project and what's next in tidal energy generation on part two of "Current Thought" with Verdant Power, Inc.'s Dean Corren. Part 2

The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), Orkney, Scotland will deploy an Invinity Energy System (AIM: IES) 1.8 MWh flow battery at EMEC’s tidal energy test site on the island of Eday. This unique combination of tidal power and flow batteries will be used to power EMEC’s hydrogen production plant, demonstrating continuous hydrogen production from variable renewable generation. EMECs production of hydrogen The commercialisation of green hydrogen is an essential step toward a 100% renewable future. Green hydrogen is created and consumed without carbon emissions and can replace fossil fuels in the energy mix, supporting the decarbonisation of heavy industry and transport sectors. The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult estimate that developing a green hydrogen industry could create 120,000 jobs and deliver £320 bn to the UK economy by 2050. Funded by the Scottish Government, via Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), Invinity’s modular flow battery system will be assembled at the company’s manufacturing facility in Bathgate, West Lothian, and consist of eight Invinity VS3 battery modules linked together into a single system. The project is expected to go live next year. Scotland’s Energy Minister, Paul Wheelhouse, said: “We are delighted to support this world-first innovative energy systems project in Orkney, with £1.8 million of funding from the Scottish Government. The demonstration of hydrogen and systems integration with renewables will be a key part of our energy transition pathways and we look forward to watching the progress of this exciting and pioneering project, building on the strong track record of Orkney and EMEC, in particular, in demonstrating hydrogen and integrated energy systems.” Invinity’s vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) are a form of heavy-duty, stationary energy storage that are deployed in high-utilisation, industrial applications. They provide hours of continuous power, one or more times per day, through decades of service. This makes them the perfect candidate for regulating the generation of tidal energy, an application where more conventional lithium-ion batteries would degrade and eventually wear out. Tidal generation is predictable yet variable, with two high and two low tides occurring each day. This is an extremely heavy cycling application, requiring up to four cycles per day, compared to solar coupled energy storage projects which typically require just one charge and discharge each day. At EMEC’s site, the system will store electricity generated by tidal turbines during high power periods, and discharge it during low power periods. This will ‘smooth’ tidal generation to create continuous, on-demand electricity to turn into hydrogen using EMEC’s 670 kW hydrogen electrolyser. This will optimise hydrogen production at the site to enable tonnes of green hydrogen generation each year. Neil Kermode, Managing Director at EMEC, said: “EMEC’s core purpose is to demonstrate technologies in new and inspired ways to decarbonise our energy system. This is the first time that a flow battery will have been coupled with tidal energy and hydrogen production, and will support the development of the innovative energy storage solution being developed in the Interreg NWE ITEG project. “Following a technical review looking at how to improve the efficiencies of the electrolyser we assessed that flow batteries would be the best fit for the energy system. As flow batteries store electrical charge in a liquid rather than a solid, they can provide industrial quantities of power for a sustained period, can deeply discharge without damaging itself, as well as stand fully charged for extended periods without losing charge. These are all necessary qualities to integrate battery technology with the renewable power generation and hydrogen production process.” Matt Harper, Chief Commercial Officer at Invinity, said: “We are thrilled to be part of this Scottish success story, showcasing the ...

The EnFAIT consortium met at the head office of the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult in Glasgow just last month. We seized the opportunity to record several of them in conversation, discussing the project, commercial prospects for tidal power and even whether tidal turbines have personalities. Hosting was Vicky Coy, Project Manager at the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, and responsible for managing and driving the organisation's portfolio of wave and tidal innovation. Taking part were: Lisa Ferrero, Senior Mechanical Engineer at Scottish tidal power pioneer Nova Innovation, where she helps design turbines from concept to installation, operation and maintenance. She was part of the engineering team that installed the world's first ever tidal power array in the Shetland Isles, the site of today's EnFAIT project. Alan Mortimer, Head of Innovation, at Wood Clean Energy. He has worked on a variety of wind, wave and tidal energy projects in. Alan previously headed up the innovation team at ScottishPower Renewables too. Tianna Bloise Thomaz, Research Associate in Marine Energy at the University of Edinburgh. She is an expert in novel methodologies for linking wave energy resources to operational costs. She is now developing a global economic model for wave and tidal technologies.

In this episode we discuss those other two "offshore" energy sources: wave and tidal energy. A few years ago there seemed to be much excitement about their prospects, but despite various technical trials and innovations, few actual projects have materialised. Why is that and how might things change? It's fair to say that we arrive at a fairly downbeat view of both wave and tidal, albeit with some ideas of niches they could exploit. However, new proposals for marine energy projects do continue to appear, so we always reserve the right to be wrong!

Fueled by the ocean, Roger Bason is pioneering the next wave of the sustainable future: building 3D Ocean Farms and developing marine permaculture off the shores of Maine. Roger is the CEO of Atlantic Ocean Aquaculture (AOA). In addition to being a major thought leader, an acknowledged expert, and an  innovator in the field of sustainable development and ocean energy, Roger is a martial artist, open water swimmer and practitioner of Hawaiian Swimming. Roger has taught graduate level courses on Tidal Energy at the School of International Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University, has served as Technical Advisor for the UN Small Island Developing States and he recently presented a lecture series at the Harvard Graduate School of Design on sustainable infrastructure, marine energy, coral reef recovery and shoreline protection. On today’s episode Marni and Roger sync up about these paradigm shifting farms of the future, climate change, why 3D Ocean Farms are a profitable form of aquaculture, the highly nutritious game-changing benefits of Kelp, how Ocean Farms act as powerful carbon sinks (via kelp forests) and fight ocean acidification via shellfish + kelp forests together filter nitrogen and phosphorus from the ocean using naturally occurring ocean currents. Roger also sheds light on his innovative investment platform, Rabble,  connecting investors with social and environmental projects that matter and how you can invest in the future!Head over to Rabble if you are interested in investing in the future of sustainability, AOA, or simply learning more. Marni also dive's deep into Rogers unique, open water swim training, inspired by the Hawaiian great, Duke Kahanamoku As you can imagine, we cover a lot of interesting and fun topics related to the ocean, swimming, future of sustainability as it relates to the ocean and literally and figuratively how the ocean fuels Roger for success.

Progress in wave and tidal energy hasn’t been slow – it’s been nonexistent. Despite media attention, strategic investments from large energy companies and strong support from national governments, the marine renewables industry has seen mostly technical failure over the last decade. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, fewer than 150 megawatts of wave and tidal projects will be installed globally by the end of the decade -- a 72 percent reduction in earlier projections. Aside from creating dams, no companies have yet been able to competitively and reliably tap the waves or tides for electricity. So is it time to end support for marine renewables and spend money on more promising up-and-coming technologies? In this week’s show, we’ll look why companies operating in the space have struggled and ask whether it’s finally time to shift our attention. Then, we’ll discuss the increasingly important role of electric vehicles at the Detroit Auto Show. We’ll also talk about “One Knob,” an idea for creating a more free-market approach to residential energy efficiency. The Energy Gang is produced by Greentechmedia.com. The show features weekly discussion between energy futurist Jigar Shah, energy policy expert Katherine Hamilton and Greentech Media Editor Stephen Lacey.

On an average day about 160 billion tonnes of seawater flows into the Bay of Fundy. That’s more than four times the combined flow of all of the freshwater rivers in the world. Nova Scotia could produce more electricity here than all of Nova Scotia requires-if they get it right. On this weeks Green Energy Futures CKUA podcast we visit the Minas Passage where Nova Scotia is testing the next generation of tidal technologies.

The rise and fall of ocean tides result from the combined gravitational pull on water by the Moon and, to a lesser extent, bu the Sun, which exerts a force on water directed towards the two astronomical bodies. These gravitational effects combine with centrifugal forces that result from the Earth and the Moon orbiting each other to make the details of tidal changes complex. This unit considers the power of the ocean tides as a potential source of useable energy and whether or not they can ever make any significant contribution to global energy supplies. This study unit is just one of many that can be found on LearningSpace, part of OpenLearn, a collection of open educational resources from The Open University.

Are you ready to ride the waves? Planet Forward Intern Dave Raish shows us a video – with a nifty animation – that explains how one utility plans to harness the most reliable resource on Earth – the tides. By connecting two tidal turbines – think underwater windmills – to the grid, Craig Collar of Snohomish PUD is investigating the potential of tidal power. Currently, there are only 40 sites on the planet that meet the right conditions to even generate tidal energy. Watch the webisode and then weigh in…do you think tidal power will sink or swim as a viable alternative energy option?

This Oxford at Said seminar was dedicated to the subject of oceans. Three researchers from the University of Oxford cover the topics oceans and the impact of climate change, understanding ocean ecology and how to generate energy from the tides. All life comes out of the ocean and is connected with the ocean. Over 70 per cent of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans earning planet earth the nick name the blue planet. Life within the sea evolved 3 billion years prior to life on land, yet much of the its ecology and life therein remains unexplored and hitherto poorly understood. Oceans also have a significant effect on the biosphere. Oceanic evaporation is the source of most rainfall, and ocean temperatures determine climate and wind patterns on land. In economic terms the seas are essential to transportation, energy production and provide a significant percentage of the world's protein. Yet, they are not limitless and many problems, such as overexploitation and pollution, have brought some marine ecosystems close to collapse.

On June 15, 2009 Maureen Bornholdt of the federal Office of Offshore Alternative Energy Programs gave this 40 minute keynote speech to the participants of Energy Ocean 09, at the Samoset Resort in Rockport Maine. Bornholdt describes how her office (a branch of the US Interior Department) has been given the mandate of rationalizing the exploitation of alternative ocean energy in federal and US EEZ waters. To that end she and her staff have put together a Framework to guide the granting of leases, easements and rights of way for renewable energy on the Outer Continental Shelf. Bornholdt's talk was followed by a lengthy Q & A session, that is being uploaded seperately.
