The increasing applications of high-voltage direct current technology in long-distance bulk power transmission have resulted in multi-infeed systems, where multiple inverters are located within mutual electrical vicinity. Many of these systems use the line-commutated converter, which may suffer the commutation failure (CF) when a thyristor valve does not turn off at the desired instant. The […]

The project focuses on developing a ‘Question-and-Answer’ (Q&A) system over lifecycle information of infrastructure elements (such as bridges), which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to efficiently search and organize information. The developed system will efficiently search through a large variety of data, ranging from text-based documents to spreadsheets, to provide accurate answers to specific questions. This […]

Long-term decision making strategic investment planning under the condition of great uncertainty is of great importance to power utilities such as Manitoba Hydro. However, existing analysis methods lack the definition of clear formal methods to define the framework for these uncertainties nor to coordinate the decision-making methodologies to support the definition of robust investment programme […]

Le présent projet a pour objectif de programmer des automates directement à partir de diagrammes SFC et Ladder créés dans Automation Studio™. Cette programmation doit préserver les fonctionnalités des logiques de contrôle : l’exécution de la logique de contrôle dans Automation Studio™ doit produire les mêmes résultats une fois que ladite logique est traduite et […]

It’s generally well-accepted that some technical teams are more agile than others in their market. These traits are often associated with startups, and statements like “Startups move faster” are rarely challenged. We would like to observe these organizations in their natural habitat, collect data across a wide range of activities, and find correlations between these […]

In this research project, interns will work on blending the world of video games with blockchain technology – a kind of secure, online record-keeping system that’s behind things like Ethereum. The goal is to find a way to let game players own, trade, and manage their in-game items (like special character outfits or tools) more […]

This research collaboration, aligned with the 2050 sustainability goals, is dedicated to advancing membrane dehumidification technology through the application of computational fluid dynamics. Our primary objective is to scale up graphene oxide membranes, ensuring their safety, efficiency, and viability for real-world HVAC applications. These improvements directly benefit Evercloak, enhancing their technology’s performance, efficiency, and compatibility […]

“THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW”

Les défauts cristallins dans les diamants présentent le meilleur potentiel de capteurs quantiques à température ambiante et amènent une capacitée à mesurer avec extrême précision des propriétés telles que la température, la pression et les champs électromagnétiques. Cette technique offre des applications prometteuses en physique, en neurobiologie, pour l’industrie minière et pour la découverte d’engins […]

Les patients atteints d’hémiparésie des membres supérieurs (paralysie partielle souvent causé par des AVC) n’ont pas toujours accès au traitement nécessaire pour assurer un rétablissement optimal. En effet, l’accès au service de rééducation nécessite l’accès à des médecins et kinésithérapeutes ainsi que de l’équipement hospitalier. Il y a donc un manque d’accessibilité à ces exercices […]

The objective of this project is to improve the quality of the hard-to-reach areas of the hydraulic turbine blades using abrasive waterjet polishing method. By this way, the energy lost caused by parietal friction between the turbine blades and the flow will be decreased and consequently the efficiency of the turbine will be improved. Previously, […]

The DSP and electroacoustics lab (DEAL) at the National Centre for Audiology (NCA) conducts research and development in the digital health technology landscape, with a specific focus on creating a mobile hearing assessment application. This initiative is crucially timed to address the escalating issue of hearing loss, which is anticipated to impact 2.5 billion people […]
