Development of a effective energy management system for hybrid renewable energy systems

As global demand for clean energy rises, hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs) integrating solar, wind, and energy storage offer opportunities to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. However, the operation and management of HRESs remain a significant challenge due to the inherent variability of renewable resources, technological limitations, and the complex interaction among system components. Therefore, this project involves the development of an Energy Management System (EMS) designed to maximise the efficiency and reliability of HRESs. Utilising the Model Predictive Control (MPC) technique, the proposed EMS performs energy allocation based on power-following principles, with the aim of providing technical and financial feasibility metrics for holistic decision-making. The novel contributions of this work are the consideration of asset degradation and inclusion of both heating and electrical components in the system. As EMS research is a critical emerging field, this project fosters an ongoing research collaboration between the University of British Columbia and University of Technology Sydney. This partnership aims to drive positive social, economic, and industrial impact by accelerating the adoption of HRESs.

Bruit des gouttes impactant les structures : vers une preuve de concept d’un pluviomètre dynamique

Quand une goutte d’eau tombe sur une structure, elle produit du bruit. On veut se concentrer dans ce stage sur les signaux sonores liées produits lors de l’impact de gouttes sur la structure solide, et l’extraction d’informations pertinentes concernant la force d’impact de la goutte. L’objectif spécifique est de déterminer si, en partant d’une mesure acoustique du rayonnement d’une plaque soumise à des impacts de gouttes, il est possible de remonter à la force d’impact de cette goutte. Remonter à la force d’impact permet de formuler des hypothèses sur sa taille, et pour plusieurs impacts, la quantité de liquide correspondant. Ceci permettrait de réaliser une évaluation du volume d’eau tombé sur une structure au cours du temps, et constituerait une preuve de concept pour un pluviomètre dynamique basé sur l’analyse de signaux acoustiques.

Mise en œuvre de zones d’écoutes privatives pour une application multidisciplinaire (application muséale et artistique)

La technologie des ‘sound zones’ (zones sonores, ou zones d’écoute privatives – ZEP) fait partie de la catégorie globale des technologies d’écoute personnelle, qui permet aux gens de créer des expériences d’écoute individuelles. Par contre et par rapport aux technologies basées sur les écouteurs, les zones sonores n’exigent pas que les personnes utilisatrices en portent pour créer une expérience audio spatialisée. Elles reposent sur un réseau de haut-parleurs et des techniques optimales de traitement du signal pour créer des zones sonores ciblées sur une zone de l’espace. En dehors de cette zone, le son est peu ou pas audible. Les méthodes de construction des ZEP ont suffisamment évolué pour permettre des installations en dehors des laboratoires expérimentaux. Il est proposé dans ce stage de se rapprocher de deux domaines connexes et de développer des prototypes de ZEP dans deux cas concrets : une collaboration avec un artiste visuel (bédéiste) et avec un centre hospitalier.

Exploring Green Azole Alternatives for Copper Corrosion Inhibition in Cooling Towers

The project aims to identify eco-friendly organic molecules to be used as copper corrosion inhibitors for water
cooling towers, which are crucial for heat management in facilities like hospitals and factories. Currently, toxic
nonenvironmentaly- friendly chemicals are used to manage corrosion in water cooling towers, which pose
environmental risks. The intern will collaborate with TGWT, a company specializing in green water treatment
solutions, to research and test green alternatives that are biodegradable and non-toxic. This solution aims to
improve environmental sustainability while maintaining performance, reducing costs, and ensuring safety in
industrial cooling systems.

Software Acceleration of Video Noise Filtering and its Integration into Real-Time Video Applications

The project is about removing noise from video signals (for example, those taken by a mobile phones or professional cinema camera). Our current software first detects the type and power of the noise and based on that remove the noise from video. This proposal has three objectives. The first is to handle a specific type of noise called structured noise, not handled yet in our denoising software developed in previous MITACS projects. To handle this, both estimator and denoiser should be adapted to this type of noise by first studying this type of noise and then change the parameters (or structure) of our denoiser to have the maximum performance under these conditions. The second objective is to increase the speed of our algorithms to achieve faster processing for time-constrained applications such as TV or cinema. We plan to revisit the structure of our techniques and carefully study how to change our algorithms to achieve higher speed while maintaining denoising quality. Our third objective is to test our techniques in very time constrained applications such as smart phones and investigate ways to reduce complexity and increase speed so to achieve real time processing.

Evaluation of thermal models for a greenhouse system

AgriTech North is a social enterprise Beneficial-Corp (B-Corp) producing fresh produce year-round, contributing to the resolution of food insecurity throughout Northwest Ontario. They are focused on local production with limited transportation requirements, a longer shelf life, and lower carbon footprint. AgriTech is engaged in the development of new vertical greenhouse technology to enable sustainable operation and a significant improvement over current farming methods. A new greenhouse design currently underway with complex heating and cooling systems – targeting low energy usage – requires the modeling and validation of the proposed green energy systems to be incorporated. The proposed project makes use of expertise of the PIs in energy management, with modeling software, in order to model a greenhouse space with targeted 50% reduction in energy consumption.

Canadian Nature Fund for Aquatic Species At-Risk

The proposed project aims to protect and restore habitat for aquatic species at risk such as the shortnose sturgeon and yellow lampmussel within the Nerepis River Watershed over a three-year timeline. This unique river system is not only crucial for aquatic species but also supports the habitat of many terrestrial species at risk. The river flows through the Department of National Defence’s 5th Canadian Division Support Base (CDSB) training area, exposing it to unique factors that affect its ecological state, such as exploded/unexploded munitions, military equipment, chemical agents, etc. Once it flows through the training area, it continues through Welsford then flows into Grand Bay-Westfield, where it drains into the Saint John (Wolastoq) River. This unique river system requires comprehensive conservation efforts.
The core activities of the project encompass an ecosystem-based approach to habitat conservation. This includes identifying, surveying, and monitoring target species at risk, program planning and development, incorporating Indigenous Traditional Knowledge, conducting habitat restoration and improvement research, implementing habitat improvement measures, and mitigating human impacts. By embracing an ecosystem-based strategy inspired by Indigenous Peoples’ traditional practices, the project aims to foster collaboration among governmental bodies, non-profit environmental groups, and Indigenous communities to utilize their vast knowledge in improving and restoring populations of aquatic species at risk.
