{ ICOE 2014 November 6, 2014 Halifax, Nova Scotia Who We Are New Energys vision is to provide clean, reliable, affordable, renewable, and environmentally responsible power to the world.
New Energy is achieving this vision primarily through the
development and provision of hydrokinetic power generation systems based on its EnCurrent vertical axis turbine; unit sizes range from 5 kW to 250 kW
Systems are deployed with little environmental impact across a
range of current and potential locations (rivers, canals, industrial outflows and tides) without the requirement for dams or major civil works The Challenge
1.2 -1.6 billion people worldwide are without access to
electricity for basic needs such as lighting and refrigeration Remote communities currently served with costly and polluting diesel power are seeking clean cost effective renewable energy solutions Jurisdictions mandated with minimum Renewable Portfolio Standards require renewable solutions to meet those standards Current renewable energy sources are intermittent and/or unpredictable making it difficult for these sources to be used for base-load power EnCurrent Power Generation System Cross flow design generates lift as water passes over foil surface Simple robust design with power equipment above water (floating system) Flexible deployment floating, fixed, free flow, ultra low head; independent of flow direction Test Program
