PRIMED has a track record, established over almost 20 years, of working in the marine renewable energy space on the BC coast. Over this time the groups role has changed from being a small research group focused purely on the academic problem of quantifying the wave energy resource off the West Coast of Vancouver Island to nowadays acting as an intermediary between communities and technology developers. We aim to be the connective tissue between BC\u2019s remote coastal communities and technology developers by providing expertise and guidance in 6 strategic research areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Waves are created from wind blowing over the water’s surface, creating friction. They contain a lot of energy potential. Technology can harness energy from the movement of the waves on the water surface or from pressure changes beneath the water.<\/p>\n

Tidal Energy<\/h5>\n

Tides are created by the gravitational pull of the sun, moon and the rotation of the earth, making them highly predictable. The two main types of tidal technology are tidal range which captures potetnial energy from the rise and fall of tides using dams, and tidal stream which uses the kinetic energy of moving water from the tidal currents to produce electricity.<\/p>\n

Offshore Wind<\/h5>\n

Wind can turn blades around a rotor, creating energy. Offshore wind technology harnesses wind over the ocean, where winds speeds are usually faster, steadier and more predictable than onshore wind – resulting in greater and more reliable energy generation!<\/p>\n
