Filtered far-UVC efficacy at surface and aerosolized decontamination of pathogens commonly found in healthcare settings

La lumière UV est reconnue pour ses propriétés antimicrobiennes. Dans ce projet, nous prévoyons utiliser une lampe propriétaire qui fournira une lumière spécifique ciblant les souches bactériennes, fongiques et virales couramment présentes dans les établissements de santé. Les résultats du projet auront un impact direct sur la stérilisation des zones à forte fréquentation de fournisseurs de soins de santé. La mission de l’entreprise est de concevoir, tester et fabriquer des lumières UVX personnalisables. Le projet est également pertinent pour la COVID-19, car l’une des souches utilisées dans le panel des agents pathogènes est considérée comme un remplacement du virus COVID-19.

Exploring climate action pathways towards a broader, deeper social mandate for a net-zero carbon economy – Year two

Climate change is understood variously across populations, and climate action strategies receive varying degrees of support. This study will explore climate action pathways towards a broader, deeper social mandate for a net-zero carbon economy. It will specifically identify the communication and engagement strategies that are most resonant with certain segments of the population in BC, as well as more broadly in Canada. Engaging with people who are concerned yet somewhat cautious about the climate change issue, this study will seek to understand the worldviews and values that shape perceptions of climate change. By better understanding audiences in terms of what deeply matters to them, the project intends to gain insight into best practices for a more inclusive climate engagement towards decarbonized economy in BC, Canada.

High resolution wind turbine power outputforecasting

Wind turbine generator power output and consumer electricity demand vary independently from one another. This presents a difficult situation for electricity grid managers as they attempt to exactly match demand using wind turbines and conventional generators (e.g. hydro, fossil fuels). Accurate forecasting of wind turbine generator power enhances management of the electricity grid, allowing for more wind turbine generating capacity while maintaining grid stability. This research will calibrate, perform sensitivity analysis, and validate the newest high resolution wind power forecasting model for Atlantic Canada. Resolution of space and time have increased from 10 km and 60 minutes, representing an entire wind farm with one forecast point, to 0.1 km and 5 minutes,representing a single wind turbine. Calibration will be completed by forecasting a variety of wind turbine types and farms and comparing with actual performance data. Sensitivity analysis will compare the incremental gains in forecast accuracy due to increasing resolution.

High Efficiency Biomass Heating for Remote and Off-Grid Homes

For many regions in Canada, wood is a plentiful and renewable resource that can be burned to offer low-cost and reliable heating for homes and buildings in remote communities. This project will support Demizine Inc., a Canadian company focused on remote and off-grid technology solutions, in developing a new forced-combustion heater system. The wood burning process will be automatically controlled to maximize efficiency and minimize harmful pollutants. To regulate room temperatures, a dedicated heat storage material will collect the heat from the fire and will transmit it to the room slowly over a long time. Some of the heat produced will also be converted into a useable electrical supply to reduce the demand on local generation. The challenges that this project will investigate include how to prevent soot buildup; how best to use the heat storage material; how to control the fire and how to efficiently convert some of the heat into electricity. If the project is successful, it will lead to an improved biomass-based space heater that is low-maintenance, reliable and efficient while also providing a reliable source of electrical power. This will provide substantial benefits especially for remote and off-grid residences and commercial buildings.

Development of durable coatings for steel tanks exposed to high chlorine concentrations

This project aims to find the durable coating which resists blistering (bubble like spots (somewhat like chickenpox sores) beneath or within a coating or paint film) for uses on steel swimming pools which is of concern for Nanaimo, BC based company Dunk Pool. This study will find suitable coating from already available coating and study the latest trends in the coatings for metal surface that remains submerged in water. Then further improvement will be made by adding performance enhancing additives. All the coatings will be rigorously tested to check the effect of aging and fatigue in extreme environmental condition. In the end, this study aims to provide Dunk Pools with the coating that to suit the long-term durability, blistering resistance on the surface of swimming pool.

Stress State and Probabilistic Assessment of Slip Potential during Geothermal Energy Development, Grande Prairie, AB

The state of stress in depth is an important parameter for subsurface project. One of the applications of knowing the stress state is understanding induced earthquake pattern arising from geothermal energy extraction. Fault slip due to fluid injection (for energy extraction) into underground deep geological layers constitutes an environmental and potential risk issue if induced seismic events are large enough to damage subsurface or surface infrastructure. This project will specify the stress state in the Grand Prairie AB region, where the first geothermal fluids exploitation scheme in AB is in development. We are used in a probabilistic analysis to evaluate the slip potential of linear fault features (existing or hypothesized). Parametric uncertainties are introduced using Monte Carlo methods with constraints established through geomechanics principles, available data, and rational (experiential) assessment. Thus, issues such as uncertainty in fault feature friction coefficient, pressure, input stress data, feature orientation and proximity to processing can be evaluated quantitatively, and risk assessments thereby carried out. The result is the cumulative distribution of the pore pressure required to prevent slip on each preexisting faults in the Grand Prairie AB region.

Crystal plasticity finite element modeling of neutron irradiation effects on slip deformation in ?-zirconium alloys

Climate change and global warming are among the main concerns that the whole planet is facing nowadays. One of the solutions to this problem is to substitute the current fossil fuel power plants with the nuclear reactors. However, the safe operation of the nuclear reactors is still a challenge. The mechanical designer are responsible to ensure the safety. In this research, we are providing an advanced simulation tool which can help the nuclear engineers to be able to design safer and more economic reactors. Canada and the partner organization will benefit from this research by improving the required knowledge for designing next generation nuclear reactors, which can eventually bring a cleaner environment.

Stockage optimal d’énergie pour le réseau 5G

L’industrie des télécommunications évolue rapidement pour offrir des services plus rapides afin de répondre à la hausse mondiale de la demande réseau. Le réseau de nouvelle génération (5G) vise à multiplier la vitesse actuelle du réseau. Cette transition apporte d’énormes bénéfices à l’économie et à la société. Un défi majeur auquel font face les fournisseurs de réseau, cependant, est que l’infrastructure existante ne peut pas répondre aux nouvelles exigences du réseau 5G. Par exemple, les futures petites cellules 5G doivent être plus puissantes que l’architecture de réseau 4G conventionnelle. Ainsi, de nouvelles recherches et développements sont nécessaires pour alimenter le futur réseau 5G. La recherche et le développement chez Alpha Technologies Ltd. à Burnaby se concentrent actuellement sur le développement d’un nouveau convertisseur de puissance à deux étages pour alimenter des petites cellules 5G de puissance 3KW. Le travail implique la mise en page de convertisseurs de puissance optimisés pour la performance électrique et thermique. De plus, le convertisseur sera évalué en fonction de ses performances EMI.

Determination of the mechanism and kinetics of melting of carbon-free direct reduced iron (DRI) made using hydrogen reduction to eliminate CO2 from steel production, and its impact on EAF steelmaking process.

The iron and steel industry are the major contributors to global industrial CO2 emissions. Coke making plants and blast furnaces are the largest emitters in this sector. To meet the requirements of CO2 emission mitigation by 2050 to net zero, hydrogen-based ironmaking is an alternative for the fossil fuel ironmaking route. The overall objective of this project is to study the kinetics and mechanism of melting of hydrogen-based DRI using an X-ray fluoroscopy system. Although it is known that melting temperature will be significantly high, melting rate, onset temperature, and its kinetics are unknown. The findings of this project will form a fundamental base for ArcelorMittal Dofasco for potential future design for a fossil-free steelmaking process based on the direct reduction of iron ore with hydrogen.
