The project objective is to develop power-electronic couplings to harness energy from run-of-river kinetic turbines for supplying electric loads in remote areas. An instrumented on-site test platform will be constructed with an immersible turbine and Power Electronics Building Block (PEBB) based converter to feed the energy to the remote electrical grid. The facility will conduct research into the PEBB topology and control methods for providing high efficiency power with high quality. The facility will also be used to validate simulation models of such equipment, particularly to investigate possible undesirable interactions between grid and the turbine. The effects of ice formation and turbulence on the river turbine will be investigated. Presently many northern Canadian communities, such as aboriginal reserves, are supplied by expensive, polluting diesel generator sets, for which the fuel has to be transported via winter roads. The research will lead to the development of a relatively inexpensive clean renewable energy supply for such areas in Canada. It will also lead to the development of Highly Qualified Personnel who can be employed in the electrical manufacturing sector in Canada.

该项目的目标是开发电力电子耦合器，利用径流动力涡轮机的能量为偏远地区的电力负荷供电。将使用浸入式涡轮机和基于电力电子构建块（PEBB）的转换器构建一个仪表化现场测试平台，以将能量输送到远程电网。该设施将对PEBB拓扑结构和控制方法进行研究，以提供高质量的高效率电力。该设施还将用于验证此类设备的模拟模型，特别是研究电网和涡轮机之间可能出现的不良相互作用。将研究结冰和湍流对河流涡轮机的影响。目前，加拿大北方的许多社区，如土著保留地，都是由昂贵的、污染严重的柴油发电机组供电，燃料必须通过冬季公路运输。这项研究将为加拿大的这些地区开发相对廉价的清洁可再生能源供应。这也将导致高素质的人才谁可以在加拿大电气制造业就业的发展。
