Les mesures d’équipements intelligents sont de plus en plus disponibles. Ces mesures permettent de caractériser le lien entre les habitudes des ménages et la consommation d’énergie du chauffage de l’eau. La meilleure connaissance de ce lien contribue au développement d’outils permettant d’anticiper la consommation d’énergie. Un réalisme accru de prévision permettrait à Hydro-Québec d’entrevoir d’autres […]

L’Institut de recherche d’Hydro Québec (IREQ) est le leader en Amérique du nord sur des recherches et développement en énergie. En collaboration avec L’École polytechnique de Montréal et l’’École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), un projet de recherche a déjà été réalisé sur la vibration des turbines hydrauliques. À la suite du succès du projet, L’IREQ […]

E-commerce has become one major marketing channel for many firms in Canada and world-wide and has increased dramatically in recent years. As firms migrate from traditional physical retail channels to combined physical and virtual channels, the shift brings new significant challenges to supply chain and logistics management. Blockchain is able to maintain authoritative records in […]

La production d’électricité à faible empreinte carbone est un levier majeur dans la lutte contre les changements climatiques. L’hydroélectricité, qui représente 99% de l’électricité produite au Québec, possède une faible empreinte carbone comparativement à l’électricité provenant de ressources fossiles, soit un avantage majeur pour la province. Les émissions de CO2 et de CH4 provenant de […]

The result of this project can be used by engineers to design a multivariable control system that will optimize the dosing of chemicals in seawater pretreatment. Besides, the plant operators and technicians will be able to perform ‘what if’ scenarios based on computer modeling results to ensure that the outlet water quality is not decreased. […]

Game-based learning tools often make use of questions to measure and encourage learning, but generating questions can be challenging, especially at the scale that companies like Axonify are required to do. In this project, the intern will design, implement, and evaluate a system that can apply machine-learning on a corpus of text (e.g., a textbook) […]

The electric power industry is undergoing considerable changes with respect to structure, operation, regulation and modernization. One of the significant changes is the increased utilization of distribured energy sources (DES) such as wind and solar and other immerging technologies particularly in electric distribution systems. It is envisioned that DES will bcome the main source of […]

La présence de très nombreuses pièces différentes dans les avions implique la fabrication de petites séries de nombreuses pièces. La majorité des pièces en composites, fabriqués en composites thermodurcissables, sont lourdes et leur fabrication très longue et manuelle. Dans le but d’alléger les masses structurelles des avions et de ramener des emplois au Québec, Génik, […]

This project proposes to develop appropriate engineering tools to optimize the operation and tracing of a Sphagnum cultivation site. The project has three major stages: 1) literature review of main indicators of water stress based on the WTD, 2) construction of a database and indexes to represent fluctuations of seasonal water table that allows the […]

Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles represent the new frontier of transportation electrification. Since the dawn of aviation, enthusiasts have dreamed of “flying cars” that can reduce trips that take hours on the ground to minutes in the air, improving productivity and quality of life. What was previously the realm of science fiction is […]

This research project will develop dc electric field sensors for the monitoring of electric power utility infrastructure and for non-contact voltage probing and monitoring. MEMS sensors are the focus, as they offer small size, low cost, and low power operation. These properties make them ideal for hand held operation, and for deployment in remote locations […]

To satisfy the growing demand of power transmission in urban regions especially from the renewables such as solar and wind, the three-phase underground cable lines have become one of the most attractive solutions which fit both the space and landscaping requirements. The heat generation and energy dissipation characteristics of these underground cable assemblies directly determine […]
