    2. Good Morning! My name is Roger Bedard. I am the Ocean Energy Leader at the Electric Power Research Institute in Palo Alto California EPRI performs R&D for the global energy industry. We span the breadth from generation, all forms, through power delivery and use technologies and include environmental effects and health and safety. We worry about keeping the lights on 5, 10 and 20 years from now As you can tell from m y name, I am of French Canadian descent. My grandparents Immigrated to the US from Quebec in the 1920s. I bring a message of hope about energy opportunities for the future – ocean energy Three kinds of ocean energy 1) tidal, 2) wave and 3) hybrid wind-wave as illustrated - Ocean energy is not as a silver bullet that will solve all energy problems, but - It is an energy supply option to add to the provinces portfolio of energy supply alternatives Note that these all three of these ocean energy sources are indigenous sources - Keeps the wealth in the province - Increases your energy security We have just completed a tidal power feasibility study for NSPI and the province - I will explain the benefits and costs of Tidal Power in NS Good Morning!

    3. Past development of the tidal resource has involved barrages

    4. Present development interest is focused on free-stream turbines

    5. TISEC looks like the wind industry about twenty years ago

    6. Significant interest in developing this resource in Pacific Northwest

    8. All turbines have a number of common components, but many variants

    9. Foundation selection is usually driven by site water depth

    10. Ducted turbines have been proposed to augment power production

    11. Marine Current Turbines is furthest along in the development process

    12. Verdant is positioned to install the first array of TISEC devices in the world

    13. Lunar Energy has adopted a different philosophy with an emphasis on a “bulletproof” design

    14. GCK is developing a vertical-axis turbine

    16. A number of prospective tidal energy sites have been identified in Puget Sound

    17. Case 1: Deception Pass: Exceptional resource quality, small cross-section

    18. Case 2: Admiralty Inlet: Moderate resource quality, large cross-section

    19. Case 3: Tacoma Narrows: High resource quality, moderate cross section
