The degradation of battery negative electrode materials in protic ionic liquids

The battery is an electrochemical device that people use every day. The industry is always interested in improving different characteristics of batteries such as less cost, increasing power, safety, and eco-friendliness. Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are widely used rechargeable power sources. We work on the replacement of aggressive electrolyte used in this technology by a more ecofriendly ionic liquid (IL). The proposed project is focused on the study of the negative electrode materials degradation in a new electrolyte. It is important for the good long time performance of the battery. Using different techniques we will study the degradation of materials during the charge/discharge cycling of the electrode materials. Also, this project is planned to study calendar corrosion. It is necessary to study the degradation of materials at storage mode because for example more than 90% of a car’s lifetime is spent parked and unused. This project will help us to choose good candidates for a new electrolyte.

Automating various land resources development and planning services using MapAki platform offered by CES

Services provided by CES move the traditional paradigm away from static paper maps and data management. Instead, they offer MapAki to create and deliver unique interactive web maps. This research project will attempt to associate multi-layered artificial intelligence empowered services to redesign and rebrand MapAki. Firstly, this project will use up-to-date visuals collected from the drones to generate 3D models for informed land use planning and development of a community for resource optimization, maintenance work, and capacity building. Furthermore, this project will focus on community-centric data analysis supporting tools (e.g., multi-layer data searches, generating personalised reports, heatmaps, and proximity analysis) that can facilitate the already existing services to a great extent by attracting a wide range of clients and increasing sales. Finally, the project will support next-generation 911 emergency responders by automating the identification and prediction of fire, flood, and evacuation routes through drone-based real-time visuals.

Optimiser la quantité d’hydrosemis utilisée pour la réhabilitation écologique des talus de sites miniers nordiques en fonction de l’exposition et du matériau

Les empilements de rejets miniers solides et de sol excavé doivent être végétalisés à la fin de la vie de la mine. La technique d’hydrosemis, qui consiste à pulvériser un mélange de graines et de fertilisant dans de l’eau, est souvent utilisée pour végétaliser les zones en pente. L’entreprise de végétalisation Irrigation NORCO veut optimiser la quantité d’hydrosemis à appliquer (nombre de couches) sur ces zones en pente pour s’assurer d’un résultat satisfaisant selon l’exposition et la nature des matériaux constituant les pentes. Cet ajustement est important dans le contexte des mines de fer en région nordique où les conditions climatiques extrêmes s’ajoutent aux contraintes d’établissement de la végétation sur rejets miniers. Ce projet de deux ans permettra la formation d’un ou d’un(e) étudiant(e) à la maitrise. Ces travaux contribueront à préciser les indicateurs de suivi du succès de la végétalisation pour le contexte des mines de fer nordiques.

Advanced Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Data Analysis and Performance Predictor using Edge Computing

This project focuses on giving the commercial or industrial property (i.e. non-solar professional) owners and facilities managers the ability to accurately calculate the predicted output of a small to medium-size solar plant and compare that value to what it is producing. This comparison is helpful to the facilities manager as it gives a way to monitor for, pick up on and rectify issues with their solar plant, thereby ensuring their return on their investment. These predictive comparative outputs will be created via external sensors placed within the Solar plant communicating with a mini-computer to process the data. Finally, the information will be sent to a cloud service for data storage and display.

Manipulating Diet Content and Context to Improve Edible Insect Farming Yield

Food security is a major global concern and Canada’s current agricultural model is not adequately positioned to support our growing needs. Insects may solve this problem as they are nutritious and their production requires less resources than vertebrate protein sources. A primary goal of this project is to increase cricket yield. Together with Entomo Farms, we have identified key concerns surrounding increasing yield that cannot be addressed without academic support. We will determine how to best manipulate diet content (Goal 1) and context (Goal 2) to improve rearing facilities and practices and will test diet formulations and rearing practices at Entomo Farms (Goal 3). We will identify the protein:carbohydrate and ipid:phosphorus:vitamin C, along with the ideal plant-based protein and the optimal particle size required to maximize yield. Insect growth is also heavily influenced by abiotic temperature. Because different physiological processes have different optimal temperatures, insect growth’s temperature sensitivity is also dependent on diet. We will determine how diet and thermal environments interact to impact yield. Further, we will also determine the effect of rearing density and diet on growth and survival.

Aeration of hydraulic turbines for increased dissolved oxygen

In warm climates warm temperatures cause thermal stratification in hydropower reservoirs inhibiting mixing and leading to deoxygenation of waters at depth (hypolimnium). Turbines withdrawing water at depth result in low dissolved oxygen (DO) in the downstream flow having a large negative impact on the downstream riverine ecosystem. Legislation in the USA and elsewhere now requires hydropower operators to guarantee meeting minimum DO limits in downstream flows. Andritz Hydro Canada has initiated this project to optimize the elbow deflectors used in draft tube aeration, which is a technological retrofit approach not excessively impacting operation schedules. The main deliverables will be the optimization of the elbow deflectors, through a parametric study of the design parameters involved in maximizing bubble surface area and bubble concentration to result in an increase in dissolved oxygen concentration, and a set of data for validation of Andritz’s Computational Fluid Dynamics model.

An FPGA-based platform for the real-time simulation of high switching frequency power converters

Advances in semiconductor technology allow the increase of the efficiency and the power density of power
converters using high switching frequency converters (HSFC). The integration of such energy conversion systems
is continuously growing and in high demand for applications such as electric vehicle battery chargers, more electric
aircrafts, and distributed energy resources. However, the real-time simulation (RTS) of HSFC is challenging, since
very small time-steps — in the order of tens nanoseconds —are mandatory to achieve high fidelity. Moreover, a
real-time simulator is typically interfaced with a physical controller in a closed loop configuration, requiring from
the simulation platform very short round trip times. For the last decade, Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)
have been the hardware platform of choice for the RTS of power converters. But the accurate real-time simulation
of HSFCs remains an active research topic, given the critical timing constraints imposed by the high switching
frequencies, the response times of these converters, and the susceptibility of the real-time models to instability.
This project aims at prototyping and evaluating FPGA-based RTS for a variety of high switching frequency
converter topologies with the aim of achieving high fidelity and stability. The real-time simulation results will be
validated against offline simulation results as well as experimental measurements drawn from physical converter
prototypes.

Redefining shared living spaces: Active reflection of post-pandemic coliving through architectural journalism

This internship will help revitalize the concept of “coliving” in the post-COVID context of Montréal city, from the perspective of an architecture student. Given that the crisis of housing shortage is on the rise, coliving is an environment-friendly alternative for young entrepreneurs on the move. Using the power of digital journalism for community engagement, this internship will guide Nomad Coliving (NoCo) in adopting transparent media to raise collective awareness on how they approach and implement the concepts of coliving in downtown Montréal. By making sketches and building models of the spaces in NoCo, this contribution could potentially improve NoCo’s public outreach and help narrate existing “coliver” testimonials. The ongoing research will attempt to answer the question: How can we visually raise awareness of NoCo as a sustainable living space? The answer(s) will inform a viable design proposal for retrofits of physical spaces and operational systems of NoCo.

The Canadian Annual Report Extractor Project (CARE)

Annual reports are an important means of communication for publicly traded companies. They provide information about the firm’s activities and operations over the past year and forecasts about the future. Although digital versions are easy to obtain, there is a lack of technology available to prepare these reports for analysis. We propose to develop a tool, called the Canadian Annual Report Extractor (CARE) that will allow for efficient and accurate extraction by section of the reports to improve our processing, understanding, and interpretation of the information within them. The CARE will be widely accessible and easy to use, providing value to the investment community, accounting profession, academics, and others for the purpose of financial statement presentation, analysis, and assurance.
