(Phys.org)—New research from a global group of scientists and engineers, including from the University of Southampton, has been published in a special issue journal of the Royal Society. The work is in support of tidal power, which has the potential to provide more than 20 per cent of the UK's electricity demand. http://phys.org/news277625788.html Technology Thu, 17 Jan 2013 06:16:36 EST news277625788 (Phys.org)—Sadly speaking, the U.S. ocean-energy industry has had to take a back seat to Europe, where government subsidies help entrepreneurs and innovative companies work on their technologies. Happily speaking, the United States has, as one writer said, found its footing, but, more precisely, got feet wet. For the first time in the United States, power from the ocean is being generated for the power grid and the action is all up in Maine. Ocean Renewable Power Company announced this month that its tidal energy project is delivering electricity to the Bangor Hydro Electric Company's power grid. ORPC launched the Maine tidal device and as a result electricity is flowing from ORPC's "Cobscook Bay Tidal Project." http://phys.org/news267252544.html Technology Wed, 19 Sep 2012 05:49:26 EST news267252544 (Phys.org) -- An underwater turbine being used for harnessing tidal power to generate electricity for homes and businesses has successfully completed its testing period in the island of Eday, one of Orkney’s northern isles. The machine marks the first to be used in Scotland’s ambitious tidal power project, with more turbines at more sites planned. Scottish Power Renewables (SPR) says that the completion of the test period is an encouraging step up in Scotland’s tidal power initiative. The turbine was lowered into position during winter storms as a test device to prove that the technology can operate efficiently in Scotland’s fast-flowing tides. http://phys.org/news256708684.html Technology Sun, 20 May 2012 05:30:01 EST news256708684 An independent Scotland would be able to get rich on renewable energy sector revenues, First Minister Alex Salmond insisted Wednesday. http://phys.org/news248545745.html Technology Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:40:02 EST news248545745 The western Indian state of Gujarat is aiming to host the first commercial-scale tidal power project in Asia after signing a deal with a British marine energy company, officials said Wednesday. http://phys.org/news214659342.html Technology Wed, 19 Jan 2011 12:10:01 EST news214659342 Here's exciting news for anyone who's been watching the fledgling efforts to promote tidal power in the U.S.: A New York energy company that has been testing tidal power in the East River has filed a formal application to install 30 underwater power turbines in the East Channel of the river. http://phys.org/news213957466.html Technology Tue, 11 Jan 2011 10:00:01 EST news213957466 The British government confirmed on Monday it will drop plans for a multi-billion-pound tidal energy project, as it identified eight sites suitable for building new nuclear power stations. http://phys.org/news206625326.html Technology Mon, 18 Oct 2010 12:55:44 EST news206625326 With a coastline stretching from New York Harbor to Cape May, New Jersey stands to benefit from a new study designed to pinpoint the top 20 sites for hydrokinetic energy, a renewable resource produced by the movement of tides, waves and currents in oceans and other bodies of water. A City College of New York (CCNY) engineering professor is partnering with Natural Currents Energy Services, LLC (NCES), a leader in tidal power technology, to locate these sites. http://phys.org/news195839615.html Technology Tue, 15 Jun 2010 16:54:00 EST news195839615 (PhysOrg.com) -- An underwater tidal turbine called an “underwater kite” has just secured finance from investors to ensure its 2011 tests can go ahead. http://phys.org/news192784124.html Technology Tue, 11 May 2010 08:09:06 EST news192784124 South Korean firm GS Engineering and Construction said Wednesday it has won a 3.4-billion-dollar contract to build one of the world's largest tidal power stations. http://phys.org/news183185471.html Technology Wed, 20 Jan 2010 04:51:38 EST news183185471 Engineers at the University of Liverpool claim that building estuary barrages in the North West could provide more than 5% of the UK's electricity. http://phys.org/news157213230.html Technology Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:34:16 EST news157213230
