The aim of this project is to determine whether renewable natural gas (RNG) is a feasible low carbon intensity (CI) fuel alternative which can be produced using existing production technologies (anaerobic digestion) and farm waste (corn silage and/or wheat, barley, oat straw) at an economically feasible cost within Canada. Driven by the introduction of Canada’s […]

Currently, our commercial borate-based “Cobra rod” glass is being used to preserve utility poles, doubling or trebling the lifetime and is a key to enhancing lifetimes of wood distribution and transmission power poles. Our main objective is to successfully process our glass into fibres, beads, and glass fibre mats like those used in the insulation […]

Detection of natural gas diversion in residential pipelines is important for public safety. Detection of such diversion in a nonintrusive manner is important for customer satisfaction and the companies’ reputation. This project aims to develop non-intrusive guided-wave ultrasonic testing methods combined with machine learning to detect and locate diversions in residential gas pipes. These pipes […]

Steel pipelines as key Canadian infrastructure are often exposed to various geological and environmental conditions that cause defects such as cracks, dents, and gouges in the pipe wall, which can lead to pipe fracture in pipelines, compromising the entire pipeline’s functionality and resulting in significant economic losses, environmental issues or even fatalities. There are several […]

The objective of this research proposition is to estimate a turbine labyrinth seal displacement from the commissioning sensors using signal coming from other sensors; ideally sensors that would be keep for continuous monitoring using deep learning technics.

À Hydro-Québec, le « Plan de production » est la stratégie de gestion du parc de centrales mise en place afin de répondre à la demande en électricité à court terme (horizon de 30 jours) et à très court terme (horizon de 24 heures). L’objectif du projet est d’optimiser la prise de décision sur les […]

McGuire Aero Propulsion Solutions (MAPS) is developing a transformative net-zero power generation technology: the micro-power-plant (MPP). The MPP addresses the global need for net-zero, distributed and dispatchable power generation. We are initially targeting industrial and commercial customers using 0.5 to 5 MW through a power-as-a-service offering. The project team will apply their education while developing […]

The Paris Agreement of 2015 that went into effect in November 2016, outlines a framework for a new market mechanism, internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs) as one of the initiatives to reduce carbon emission, that could incentivize countries to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. ITMOs enable countries to transfer emissions reduction credits between countries […]

Une transition vers une consommation de l’énergie électrique plus efficace, flexible ou plus sobre doit notamment être pensée dans la réalité sociale des ménages québécois. Que l’on parle de jeunes parents manquant de temps endettés par un premier achat immobilier ou d’autres ménages, ils doivent être entendus. Leurs trajectoires et leurs aspirations d’établissement, ainsi que […]

The objective of this proposal is to do energy assessment and cost-benefits analyses among selected industrial and commercial Enbridge Gas Distribution (EGD) customers, engaging Ryerson faculty and students. EGD operates defamed side management (DSM) programs to encourage its industrial customers to adopt energy saving equipment and strategies to reduce the natural gas consumption. As a […]

Le site patrimonial du Poste-de-Traite-de-Chicoutimi est le berceau de l’occupation canadienne sur le territoire. Les fouilles archéologiques qui ont eu lieu de 2013 à 2019 sont des fouilles ouvertes au public. Depuis la fin du projet, la collection est au laboratoire d’Archéologie et d’histoire de l’UQAC et elle n’est plus accessible au public. Afin de […]

Le sujet a l’etude dans ce projet est le joint de cuivre flexible. Ces joints assurent une connexion electrique entre des conducteurs. Certains fabricants utilisent aujourd’hui ces joints flexibles dans les alternateurs pour faire les connexions entre les poles du rotor pour l’inducteur. Le dimensionnement de ces joints flexibles s’effectue avec une approche conservatrice compte […]
