The Telegram reported that on January 31, the Government of Canada announced funding of $13.8 million from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency’s Atlantic Innovation Fund for research and development projects in Newfoundland and Labrador. The funding includes an estimated $5.3 million for C-CORE, which is an integrity and security of critical infrastructure project. This project will combine three existing technologies to create a unique space-ground-subsurface method of monitoring critical infrastructure for structural stability and security. C-CORE will partner with the Memorial University of Newfoundland, University of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia Community College Centre for Geographic Sciences, Defence Research and Development Canada and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment to advance satellite and associated technologies to monitor the integrity of Canada’s critical infrastructure and provide predictive analysis. Another project, estimated to cost $2.4 million, has been designated to develop a unique net available power forecasting service that will provide forecasts of actual power supplied by a wind farm to the local energy grid.
