Modeling Ekona’s H2 production and carbon capture process: Phase 2

Ekona Power Inc is developing a technology to convert natural gas into H2, electricity, and a solid carbon stream. The solid carbon stream will then be sequestered. Their approach involves two reactors. The first reactor combusts natural gas and oxygen to provide the process heat to the second reactor. The second reactor heats natural gas […]

Parking Occupancy Inference With LiDAR Sensors

Parking is a cumbersome part of auto travel in urban areas, primarily due to lack of information on the location of available spots. Sensors can be deployed to detect occupancy, but they often fail due to their high costs and detection inefficiencies in outdoor spaces. This project pursues a feasibility study of using LIDAR sensors, […]

Integration of Electric Vehicles into the Power Distribution System

Electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly popular because of their high efficiency and sustainability. However, EVs represent an intensive electric load. Their penetration to the power system poses significant challenges to power distribution system operation and control, such as voltage drop and transformer overload. This study will evaluate the impact of EV penetration on Saskatchewan’s […]

Detection and investigation of downtime causes

The use of machine learning and big data in production is still in its early stages as only a limited amount of data is used. This research aims to improve productivity by determining factors affecting downtime. Changeover’s time and performance rate improvement during production will be addressed considering not only equipment data and product data […]

Understanding Question Difficulty and Student Ability in Mathematics Assessments

Education software is abundant on the web, but few support the analysis of students’ performance and test difficulty over user-defined questions and learning objectives. The idea of this project is to create a computer program to provide educators with insights on student performance on assessment items and perceived and actual assessment item difficulty within fine-grained […]
