With Canada having identified 100 GW of river hydrokinetic potential (rivaling Canada's current total nameplate electrical generating capacity), the proposed collaborative marine research with New Energy will contribute to the realization of economic opportunities inherent to our renewable energy resources. Marine energy technology provides base load generation, providing opportunities to displace diesel generation. The University of Manitoba established the Canadian Hydrokinetic Turbine testing Centre (CHTTC) and collaborates with Canadian marine companies, like New Energy, that develop hydrokinetic turbines at the distributed scale. The CHTTC assists Canadian companies to increase their market share in the expanding global supply chain by supporting commercialization of marine water-to-wire turbine technology. New Energy designs and develops river and tidal marine turbines for distributed generation power markets worldwide. The proposed Collaborative Research and Development project will investigate ways to improve the application of distributed generation in communities using hydrokinetic technologies, focusing mainly on river applications. The objective is to improve methods and procedures to reduce the overall levelized cost of energy for deploying and operating hydrokinetic turbines worldwide. Research will be on investigating new approaches to simplify how to install and operate this technology, decrease the weight of components that must be shipped to remote locations, and reduce system complexities. Focus will be on decreasing operator requirements by eliminating difficult on-water procedures, simplifying operator training and workplace safety procedures, and considerably reducing on-water safety risks.

加拿大已确定了 100 吉瓦的河流水动力潜力（可与加拿大目前的总铭牌发电能力相媲美），拟议的与新能源公司的海洋合作研究将有助于实现我们可再生能源固有的经济机会。海洋能源技术提供基本负载发电，为取代柴油发电提供了机会。曼尼托巴大学建立了加拿大水力涡轮机测试中心（CHTTC），并与新能源等加拿大船舶公司合作，开发分布式水力涡轮机。 CHTTC 通过支持海洋水电涡轮机技术的商业化，协助加拿大公司在不断扩大的全球供应链中增加市场份额。 New Energy 为全球分布式发电市场设计和开发河流和潮汐船用涡轮机。拟议的合作研究与开发项目将研究利用流体动力技术改善社区分布式发电应用的方法，主要侧重于河流应用。目标是改进方法和程序，以降低全球部署和运行水力涡轮机的总体平准能源成本。研究将致力于调查新方法，以简化该技术的安装和操作方式，减轻必须运送到远程位置的组件的重量，并降低系统复杂性。重点将是通过消除困难的水上程序、简化操作员培训和工作场所安全程序以及大幅降低水上安全风险来降低操作员要求。
