Les réseaux et les microréseaux électriques sont rarement accessibles pour effectuer des tests. Le recours à des simulateurs à temps réel est une solution efficace pour permettre l’étude de ces réseaux électriques. Le réalisme de ces simulateurs à temps réel est étroitement lié à la précision des modèles utilisés ainsi que leurs lois de commande. […]

The mining industry is looking for technologies that improve sustainability through reducing environmental and energy burdens. In line with this, a program was created between Sudbury Integrated Nickel Operations, a Glencore Company and Laurentian University to prospect for opportunities for making better use of existing non-mineral resources. Interns on the Mitacs program will bioprosepect mine […]

Object tracking using stereo video is a field of research applicable to a large number of applications. However, most proposed methods are complex, and require significant computing resources to be implemented. As a result, the number of applications and environments where object tracking systems can be realistically deployed is limited. The proposed research project aims […]

AYO Smart Home Ltd. is pursuing the development of integrated energy management technologies for smart buildings. Various approaches such as heat recovery, solar energy, energy storage, and passive cooling are being investigated by the AYO Smart Home Ltd. company. Novel technologies for Heating, Ventilating, Air-Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC-R) are also considered as a crucial part […]

Cette recherche sert à déterminer les facteurs qui affectent la performance d’un réseau d’entreprises. Par exemple, une augmentation de la demande peut causer des retards de livraison si l’entreprise ne prend pas les mesures nécessaires. La méthodologie proposée est de décortiquer le système étudié en trois sous-systèmes pour déterminer ces facteurs. Il s’agit de la […]

Although life expectancy is increasingly associated with the treatment of heart disease and cancer, there has been virtually no improvement in life expectancy for patients with dementia. Dementia has a devastating impact to the patient, family members and society because patients become dependent on family caregivers, who are then less productive in other aspects of […]

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising field as a sustainable alternative to traditional manufacturing processes for the aerospace sector because of the potential of low buy-to-fly ratio on materials. Cold spray offers the potential for AM of titanium parts due to its large deposition rates compared with current AM methods. However, some hurdles are found […]

Unrecyclable Waste materials destined for landfills could be used as fuel for cement kilns with little to no pre-processing. The very high temperatures required in cement production make cheaper alternatives to coal as fuel, necessary to cut down on production costs. However a selected waste material replacing coal or petroleum coke must be suitable for […]

This project seeks to perform an analysis about the dynamics of interactions between members of an entrepreneurship community. Entrepreneur’s behaviors will be compared with the literature on knowledge transfer and concepts about entrepreneur’s thinking. Using data collected within the entrepreneur community and concepts, the intern will define the parameters needed for the development of effective […]

The present dependence of human society on fossil fuels indicates the inevitable increase of energy de-mands and emissions of greenhouse gases, most notably carbon dioxide (CO2). These problems need to be resolved with sustainable energy solutions, including the idea of capturing CO2 to synthesize renewa-ble or sustainable hydrocarbon, and carbonaceous fuels. Our proposed research project […]

The demand for photovoltaic solar modules has increased tremendously in recent years. Unfortunately, photovoltaic solar modules are prone to potential induced degradation, i.e., a decrease in the power delivered from such modules arising as a consequence of them operating continuously under high applied voltages. This project aims to design a protocol for the accelerated testing […]

L’augmentation des sports nautiques utilisant des embarcations à moteurs est une préoccupation pour les citoyens, associations, municipalités soucieux de l’impact écologique sur les lacs. Il est difficile de trouver des solutions environnementales et durables satisfaisantes en termes de réglementation. Ce projet de recherche est donc défini afin de fournir un cadre scientifique dont le but […]
