Hot Springs Cove on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, Canada is an off-grid community of approximately 80 residents reliant on diesel fuelled electricity generation. Recent concerns with on site diesel based electricity generation have prompted interest in renewable alternatives, including...

Several approaches can be used for estimating tidal power potential. From a theoretical point of view, others have shown that the problem can be reduced to a single or multiple boundary problem with simple geometry where each case has a well defined maximum power potential. From a practical...

The electrical power integration of a heaving point absorber wave energy converter to a remote island community of population 100 is investigated. A wave resource assessment, taking into account the local geography, is completed. The operational concept and specifications of the wave energy...
