Kempy Energetics collaborated with Ocean’s North, Allswater, Rimot Energy and others to assess the potential for electrification of the Nova Scotia lobster fleet. Full text pdf: NS-Lobster-Fleet-Electrification-Assessment...
Determining salmon provenance with automated otolith reading
February 4, 2021
We present a computer vision method for identifying and reading hatchery marks in salmon otoliths. Synthetic otolith marks are used at hundreds of hatcheries throughout the Pacific Rim to record the release location of salmon. Each...
Abstract: Reducing methane emissions from oil and gas systems is a central component of US and international climate policy. Leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs using optical gas imaging (OGI)-based surveys are routinely used to...
The commercial fishing fleet in Southeast Alaska stands to benefit from emerging technologies that make hybrid, battery-electric and alternative fuel vessels more practical and affordable than ever before. A transition from diesel fuel...
Vessel Energy Analysis Tool model documentation
August 16, 2019
The Vessel Energy Analysis Tool (VEAT) estimates the energy consumption of various vessel loads based on responses to ~20 questions about vessel characteristics and operations. The model is supported by results from 29 fishing vessel...
Comparing Natural Gas Leakage Detection Technologies Using an Open-Source “Virtual Gas Field” Simulator
March 23, 2016Mathematical Modeling
Abstract: We present a tool for modeling the performance of methane leak detection and repair programs that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of detection technologies and proposed mitigation policies. The tool uses a two-state...
The report first discusses diesel fuel properties, then discusses additives used in diesel fuel, categorized by function. The discussion then advances to Alaska-specific topics: how fuel is purchased and delivered, where in this...
