Détection des Anomalies des Mesures Météorologiques par Apprentissage Automatique

Le but du projet proposé consiste à développer des méthodes de détection des anomalies des mesures de températures et de précipitations enregistrées de façon automatique par les réseaux des membres de Solutions Mesonet. Les méthodes de détection qui seront proposées seront basées sur l’apprentissage automatique et plus particulièrement sur des modèlesstatistique spatio-temporels. Ces modèles permettront […]

Optimization of the production of the new biosurfactant ananatoside by the bacterium Pantoea ananatis

Surfactants are chemical compounds used as active ingredients in a large array of products, such as soaps and detergents. However, they can become pollutants and toxicants, and their production is not sustainable (derived from petrochemical processes). One attractive alternative is the use of biological surfactants from microbial origin. We have identified a promising new biosurfactants […]

Incorporation of municipal solid wastes for the development of an efficient CO2 utilization polygeneration process

This project deals with designing an efficient polygeneration process that incorporates municipal solid waste (MSW) drying and conversion to syngas process for reducing the load on the hydrogen unit of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) processes. The main benefit of this system is the production of high-pressure steam and high-quality syngas with minimum greenhouse gas […]

The influence of the wood morphology on the stability of a plasma process at atmospheric pressure for fire-resistance

Wood is an eco-friendly material but is very susceptible to fire, therefore, treatments using organosilicon products can be carried out to make the wood more resistant to fire. The way Laroche’s group has carried out these treatments is through the application of plasma to the wood surface and subsequent application of the organosilicon product. In […]

Design and Life Cycle Analysis of Electric Aircraft Propulsion Systems

In collaboration with CAE, the project’s primary goal is to identify an appropriate material to isolate a battery pack in a hybrid electric aircraft. The chosen material must be as light as possible, while meeting appropriate safety standards. This battery module will be integrated into an aircraft for testing by the industry partner. With a […]

Anti-islanding detection for renewable energy systems indistribution system

Integration of renewable energy systems into grid is an effective solution to the electric energy shortage and environmental pollution. A number of technical challenges may arise with increased grid-connected renewable energy systems. One of the most important issues is how to achieve the islanding protection. Many anti-islanding detection methods have been reported for single renewable […]

Controlling wetting and ionic transport in graphene-ionic liquid-based supercapacitors

Supercapacitors are energy storage devices that can be charged and discharged much faster than batteries while also being more reliable and exhibiting nearly indefinite cycle-life. Graphene-based materials which are a single layer of carbon atoms, exhibit the highest surface area of any material and have the potential to form the ideal supercapacitor electrodes, if we […]

Improved Graphene Production by Rapid Thermal Exfoliation of Graphene Oxide for Application in Energy Storage

Graphene and related materials remain the most promising electrode materials and additives for use in energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors due to the potentially high surface area, high aspect ratio and electrical conductivity. Unfortunately, it remains challenging to achieve single layers of graphene using scalable methods of production. The proposed work aims […]
