Research will be conducted to determine the best way to visualize and operationalize electric and diesel engine performance data collected in real-time for vessel owners and operators. The boats involved in this research work are candidates for using hybrid electric/diesel drive. The methods of displaying data will be explored to determine the best way to […]

The goal of this project is to design and implement a mobile “dashboard” interface for an ocean vessel profiling device that captures speed, location, torque, and other data relevant to ship powering measurement and prediction. The interface will provide real-time visualizations that a pilot, engineer, or scientist can use to monitor the impact of ship […]

The proposed research aims at increasing the efficacy of tidal turbines by incorporating light-weight and resilient blades into a currently used turbine. For that, a recently developed 3D fiber-metal-laminate (3D-FML) material at Dalhousie University will be used. In comparison to metals that are presently used to form blades, or potentially fiber-reinforced composites, the 3D-FML would […]
