5. Forcings Topography o Funnel Shape o Shallowing & Narrowing Natural Resonance – 13 hrs Tidal Cycle – 12 hrs 25 min Archer 2013

6. Forcings Topography o Funnel Shape o Shallowing & Narrowing Natural Resonance – 13 hrs Tidal Cycle – 12 hrs 25 min Results in largest measureable tides Movement of 160 billion tons of water in every tide Archer 2013

7. Tidal Power Requirements o Predictable o High energy Energy output = speed of current 3 o A current 2x larger will result in 8x energy potential

8. Tidal Power Requirements o Predictable o High energy Energy output = speed of current 3 o A current 2x larger will result in 8x energy potential Total Bay of Fundy: 50 000 MW Energy at Minas Passage o Possible: 7 000 MW o Accessible: 2 500 MW Energy at Annapolis Generation Station o Accessible: 20 MW
