This proposal is for the development of an exercise for catastrophic event that could significantly impact EPCOR’s operations and its ability to provide electricity, water or wastewater treatment services to over three million customers in Alberta. The findings from this project will significantly enhance EPCOR’s ability to plan for, respond to, continue operations and recover […]

Rain-on-snow events, where rain falls on pre-existing snow, cause some of the highest peak flows in mountainous coastal regions, such as Southwestern British Columbia. Operational hydrologists have a difficult time predicting runoff during these events because of an incomplete knowledge of the energy fluxes into and within the snowpack over large areas, and because of […]

Dissolvable Fertilizers are an agricultural innovation with slow and controlled fertilizer release. This technology is posed to reduce application costs and lead to optimized nutrient uptake by plants. Furthermore, it promises to reduce the agricultural, carbon footprint, as the frequency and amount of fertilizer applied is decreased resulting in less environmental pollution from nutrient loss. […]

Les entreprises manufacturières de la Ville de Laval au Québec affichent un retard significatif dans l’adoption des technologies numériques, attribué au manque d’alignement avec le modèle d’affaires, la difficulté à établir des indicateurs clés de performance, et le déficit de compétences internes et de motivation des employés. Ce projet vise à évaluer la maturité numérique […]

Le secteur industriel est le plus grand consommateur d’énergie au Québec, représentant environ 40 % de la consommation totale d’énergie. L’amélioration de la gestion de l’énergie dans ce secteur est un objectif essentiel, tant pour le fournisseur d’énergie et les clients, compte tenu des coûts de l’énergie, des impacts environnementaux et des ressources disponibles. En […]

Strong evidence exists indicating the therapeutic potential of strontium in bone health and regeneration, and perhaps treating metastatic bone disease. Since current standard treatments of large bone defects can still result in poor outcomes (whether using autografts, allografts, ceramic or acrylic cements). New technologies and advances in 3D printing with ceramics and other blended bioactive […]

Providing reliable and efficient services for electric vehicle (EV) users requires implementing cyber layers alongside the physical infrastructure within EV ecosystems. Nevertheless, the introduction of these cyber layers exposes these ecosystems to various cyber threats, including data manipulation, malware injection, and intrusions, strategically designed to disrupt power distribution networks. Building upon this, the proposal aims […]

The internships proposed here deal with the development of a physical prototype and efficient mathematical models of a modular multi-level converter (MMC). MMCs have attracted a great deal of attention as a promising technology for the new generation of high-voltage dc power transmission systems. Development of a physical laboratory prototype MMC is an essential step […]

Circuit électrique, operated by Hydro-Québec, currently owns most of the public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs) in Quebec. Over the next few years, more charging station owners are expected to enter the market. This makes it necessary to anticipate the impact of competition in terms of service quality. This places us in the domain […]

General Fusion (GF) is a private company developing a magnetized target fusion scheme to compress a plasma to fusion conditions with a liquid metal liner for the purposes of producing energy. The plasma density is an important parameter that must be measured during a shot to evaluate the performance of the machine. An interferometer is […]

Ce projet représente le développement d’une technologie de séparation des gaz par membrane. Cette technologie nouvelle sera basée sur le concept de membranes à matrices mixtes qui a fait l’objet de travaux récents à l’Université Laval. Ces travaux portaient sur la conception de mélanges de polymère avec des particules inorganiques et organiques capables de séparer […]

In response to the growing concerns about landfill gas emissions, particularly methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which significantly contribute to global climate change, the proposed research project aims to address this issue through the development of bio-based landfill covers. While many landfills currently have implemented gas collection systems for processes like flaring or energy […]
