ACEP: In-River Turbines and Salmon (Video)

A turbine spinning in the water while salmon migrate upriver to spawn doesn’t sound like a good combination; however, initial research suggests they can coexist without issue. A new video from the Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP), PMEC’s home at UAF, shows experiments testing the effects of marine energy turbines on migrating fish populations.

Nonlinear Control for Wave Energy Converters: getting the power we want, when we want it

Because a wave energy farm has no control over converging waves, the wave energy conversion devices themselves must be controlled. PMEC researchers study device control methods that can allow operators to get the power they want, when they want it.
