The proposed research project aims to improve the stability of electrical grids, which are increasingly powered by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, by developing a Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG). This virtual generator would allow grids with low natural inertia, due to the presence of power electronics (e.g., inverters), to better respond to […]

Le développement rapide des technologies de l’information et des capteurs au cours des dernières années a eu un essor de plus en plus important dans le secteur automobile afin de rendre la conduite plus sécuritaire. Les systèmes de sécurité active en milieu automobile visent à éviter les collisions plutôt que de mitiger leur impact sur […]

Le projet de recherche se concentre sur l’utilisation d’exosquelettes dans le secteur manufacturier, où les travailleurs effectuent des tâches physiquement exigeantes pouvant entraîner des troubles musculo-squelettiques (TMS). L’objectif est d’évaluer l’impact du Muscle Suit Every, un exosquelette portable, sur la réduction de la fatigue musculaire et de la charge cognitive des travailleurs. La recherche sera […]

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected to carry out tasks of increased complexity, expanding in indoor environments such as warehouses and healthcare settings. However, indoor environments impose unique challenges to UAVs as the enclosed space is relatively small and safety is crucial for people working in the same space. Furthermore, the unavailability of GPS leads […]

Water management and treatment of mineral tailings and oil sands tailings are becoming critical challenges for the sustainable development of natural resources exploration. Reclamation of these tailings is challenging due to a solid phase composed mainly by very fine particles and many other chemicals. With these characteristics, the tailings form a very stable colloidal system […]

In industries, chemical processes involve different plants running in parallel with different production rates under the strict constraints on available resources. Therefore, events like shutdown of one or more plants, operating plants with different production grades with flexible run length time, different equipment utilization rates of plants are vital to be studied, scheduled, and optimized.
