Addressing Challenges ROV Operation Flow

项目摘要

The high-energy Bay of Fundy marine environment offers a vast relatively untapped source of renewableenergy in the form of tides. In this context, energy conversion technologies that harvest this energy source areincreasingly coming on-line, and dependable tools that can be used to inspect and interact with submergedinfrastructure over sustained periods are increasingly needed. In the past few years, the Nova Scotia tidalcommunity has augmented its marine operational capacity, but some unknowns and risks still exist, and thecost associated with such operations are high. A next step in reducing tidal energy levilized costs is thereforeimproving the performance of key installation tools, such as Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs).Conventional ROVs generally operate in subsurface currents of up to 1.5 m/s. They are thus a key operatinglimitation in the design (and cost) of the marine operations in high flow tidal environment such as the Bay ofFundy, where subsurface current speeds reach 5 m/s. Dominion Diving Ltd. now seeks the support of NovaScotia Community College (NSCC) to investigate the technical feasibility of deploying an ROV, the CougarXT 1420 in the Bay of Fundy. The company will then have reliable data to optimize ROV performance for aset of different operational scenarios. This will give the company the ability to become a global leader in theuse of ROVs in high flow marine environments. The outcome will contribute to bringing the supply of tidalenergy, a clean, predictable and renewable energy source, in line with other energy supply options in Canada.

高能量的芬迪湾海洋环境以潮汐的形式提供了大量相对未开发的可再生能源。在这种情况下，收集这种能源的能量转换技术越来越多地上线，并且越来越需要可靠的工具，可以用于持续检查水下基础设施并与之互动。在过去的几年里，新斯科舍省潮汐社区已经增强了其海洋作业能力，但仍然存在一些未知和风险，并且与此类作业相关的成本很高。因此，降低潮汐能利用成本的下一步是提高关键安装工具的性能，例如远程操作车辆（rov）。传统的rov通常在高达1.5米/秒的地下电流中工作。因此，在大流量潮汐环境（如海湾ofFundy，地下水流速度达到5米/秒）的海上作业中，它们是设计（和成本）的关键操作限制。Dominion Diving Ltd.目前正在寻求NovaScotia社区学院（NSCC）的支持，以研究在芬迪湾部署一种ROV （CougarXT 1420）的技术可行性。然后，该公司将获得可靠的数据，以优化ROV的性能，以适应不同的操作场景。这将使该公司有能力成为在高流量海洋环境中使用rov的全球领导者。这一结果将有助于将潮汐能——一种清洁、可预测和可再生的能源——的供应与加拿大的其他能源供应方案相一致。
