This internship will require the intern to research successful telework practices and describe these findings in a written report. The report should outline the key research findings and provide recommendations on the implementation of a telework program. The research will then present these findings as part of their final deliverable. Once the internship is complete, […]

The automation of wastewater treatment plants can lead to decreased energy usage and improved effluent quality. Current technology focuses on instrumentation and displays so that human operators can make decisions on the operating point of the plant, while relying on simple computer feedback controls to guide the plant. This research program aims at developing intelligent […]

The City of Saskatoon has prioritized development of a digital transformation to a smart city strategy. The intern will function as a business analyst for the city during this digital transformation. The intern will analyze the city’s current strategies to develop a picture of the current goals and objectives along with an understanding of the […]

Lionstooth Energy is developing a Dispatch as a Service (DaaS) platform that will automate commercial management and automation of power generation facilities. This is a software-based offering that will involve merging power plant operations, commercial power market fundamentals and artificial intelligence. The project that will be undertaken by the analyst has the following components: Review […]

Sayisi Dene First Nation is a fly-in remote northern Manitoba community wanting to shift to clean energy. Kisik Clean Energy focuses for this project on shifting this diesel energy-dependent First Nation communities to solar energy integrating energy storage with lithium-ion batteries for assisting with microgrid technology. The Sun will soon deliver the Sayisi Dene community’s […]

Renewable sources of electricity continue to increase in market share across all jurisdictions. New wind and solar energy projects in Alberta will be the main drivers to reach the province’s 2030 target to have 30% of its electricity derived from renewable sources. Alongside these projects the power generation companies like TransAlta Corporation will need to […]

The proposed research will develop the underlying medium that can be further advanced into a real-time emission intensity assessment framework. The intern will be developing computational models based on electricity generation metered volumes and investigate how deep learning and data mining approaches can assist information extraction to enhance analytical capacities on sequence learning. Since ReWatt […]

La planification intégrée de la maintenance et de la production revêt une importance cruciale en industrie. Dans le cas des centrales hydro-électriques, il est très important d’optimiser conjointement les ventes et la pérennité du parc de production. Or, en raison de la pression constante pour faire plus de profits de vente, il arrive souvent que […]

Connectivity is a critical service, a foundational need to actively participate in the economy and society. However, rural communities in British Columbia (BC) continue to face challenges with connectivity. The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on this digital divide, demonstrating the inequities resulting from connectivity challenges. Across rural BC, local governments have been increasingly […]

The project consists in fabricating transparent electrodes using a method that can be used for industrial production. They are a key component to make semi-transparent perovskite solar cells, which can be an energy-producing alternative to windows and building facades. The intern will do preliminary studies on the electrodes by depositing them using a well-documented, lab-scale […]

La ville de Ste-Julie (Qc) est aux prises avec une production importante de boues dans ses étangs de traitement des eaux usées. Ce faisant, elle doit vidanger annuellement ces derniers, ce qui représente des coûts d’opération importants. Ces vidanges génèrent annuellement environ 600 tonnes sèches de boues. La ville souhaite donc développer une (bio)approche leur […]

Accurate and high-resolution analysis of precipitation accumulation is of primary importance for hydrological and meteorology applications. In the last decade, the Canadian Precipitation Analysis (CaPA) system has been developed and implemented at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC)’s Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC). The goal of this project aims to improve CaPA by including adjusted […]
