Dans le cadre de ce projet, les chercheurs mettront au point plusieurs modules de composants automobiles en vue de déterminer si la méthode proposée peut servir au développement d'un simulateur automobile complet capable de remplir tous les critères de conception prévus. Le simulateur permettra de valider les principes et sera créé de façon à remplir […]

Les convertisseurs de sources de tension (CST) munis de valves à autocommutation sont utilisés dans des applications telles que des commandes moteurs électriques. Récemment, la mise au point de commutateurs haute tension et de courants nominaux fait que ces convertisseurs peuvent également s’appliquer à la transmission de courant haute tension. Ce stage effectué auprès d’Hydro […]

Ce projet de recherche est une étude du processus de conception technique. Il vise à étudier le processus de conception chez Manitoba Hydro en vue de mieux saisir le processus de conception, le flux d'information et la communication du processus. L'équipe de recherche du stagiaire examinera le processus de conception de l'intérieur du milieu organisationnel, […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à créer un modèle numérique d'un système de chauffage par rayonnement à partir du plancher pour les dalles de fondation au Manitoba. Il est important de savoir comment isoler les fondations de façon à réduire au minimum les pertes de chaleur vers le sol tout en prévenant le soulèvement par […]

En vertu de la Loi sur les pêches fédérale, la politique de Pêches et Océans Canada (MPO) oblige l’industrie à compenser la détérioration, la destruction ou la perturbation des habitats de poissons. Manitoba Hydro a parfois du mal à trouver des projets de compensation efficaces et valables. Il peut donc arriver que les projets de […]

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 […]

Increasing demand for more reliable electric power requires advanced monitoring systems that prevent equipment failure and outages. The existing technologies used for monitoring the voltage and the electric field in the vicinity of the high voltage devices are bulky and expensive. On the other hand, maintenance of the monitoring devices requires specific safety precautions. In […]

This project aims to build strong collaborations with Indigenous communities across Manitoba to monitor large mammals using camera traps. The goals of this study are to facilitate Indigenous co-management of wildlife with the provincial government in Manitoba and to inform management of declining species, especially moose, with regards to the factors which are driving decreasing […]

Several vehicle component modules will be developed as part of this project to validate if the proposed approach can be used to develop a comprehensive vehicle simulator that can meet expected design criteria. The proof-of-concept simulator will be developed to be able to address all requirements. Furthermore, the proposed vehicle simulator libraries will be developed […]

Voltage-source converters (VSC) that use self-commutated valves have been used for such applications as electric motor drives. Recently with the development of switches with high voltage and current ratings, these converters have been considered for high-power transmission as well. This internship with Manitoba Hydro, Manitoba’s major energy utility, aims at developing accurate computer simulation models […]

This research project is a study of the engineering design process. The goal is to study the design process at Manitoba Hydro to better understand: how design works, how information flows, and how the process is communicated. The intern’s research team will study the design process from within the organizational environment. This will involve a […]

This research project will develop a numerical model of in-floor-heated slab foundations in Manitoba. With in-floor-heated slab foundations, it is important to know how to insulate the foundation to minimize heat losses to the ground while preventing frost heave. The proposed model will be used to analyze the effects of the amount and placement of […]
