Sensors help unlock Canada's enormous tidal energy potential in the Bay of Fundy

摘要

Home to the highest tides in the world, the Bay of Fundy stretches 270 kilometres along the US and Canadian coastlines, pushing roughly 160 billion tonnes of water in a single tide - more than all the freshwater rivers and streams in the world combined. Often referred to as the "Everest of Tidal Power", Fundy's tidal flow speeds up as it pinches through a narrow section called the Minas Passage, resulting in water speeds that can exceed 20 kilometres per hour.
