Selon le plus récent rapport du Groupe d’experts intergouvernemental sur le climat (GIEC), les événements extrêmes tels que les précipitations intenses sont susceptibles d’augmenter en intensité et en fréquence au Canada. Au Québec, cette augmentation aura des impacts considérables sur l’ensemble des secteurs d’activité de la province, tels que l’agriculture, l’énergie et l’aménagement du territoire. […]

Le projet de recherche consiste à développer une méthodologie pour identifier les métriques adéquates permettant de comparer les performances de différentes approches de détection d’anomalie en fonction d’un contexte donné et d’en implémenter une preuve de concept adaptée au problème de surveillance des groupes turbine-alternateur chez Hydro-Québec. Lorsque les données pour définir explicitement des classes […]

The project aims at the modeling and simulation of the HVAC system for the study of energy conservation strategies. After the optimal energy conservation strategies are found through simulations, a central HVAC controller will be developed for the integrated operation of the Archetype House HVAC equipment which will employ the energy conservation strategies such as […]

This project aims to leverage the TRCA Archetype Sustainable House facilities, the innovative HVAC, DHW and renewable energy equipment and on-site comprehensive monitoring system to identify opportunities for systems integration and optimization and, together with the manufacturing partner and utilities, demonstrate a control module that can both inform homeowners of their energy consumption via a […]

Canada ranks very poorly in terms of energy usage per capita and in energy efficiency. As a large portion of this energy is used by buildings, saving the energy consumed by buildings will significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Efforts are underway to incorporate various energy-preserving and generating techniques to create such “Net Zero” (or even […]

Le but de ce projet de recherche est de poursuivre Ie developpement d’un code de mesures de deformations par correlation d’images. II s’agit d’une technique permettant d’evaluer les deformations subies par une piece sollicitee mecaniquement a partir d’images prises a di fferents instants. Le principe consiste a com parer chaque image deformee a une image […]

Partout à travers le monde, le marché de l’énergie se renouvelle constamment afin d’assurer une bonne efficacité et fiabilité. Qui plus est, des citoyens choisissent d’être plus proactifs et autonomes par rapport à leur consommation d’énergie en la produisant eux-mêmes (prosommateurs). Parmi les stratégies émergentes, les échanges d’énergie en pair à pair (P2P), en communautaire […]

The goal of the proposed research project is to develop a robust and useful analysis of the effects of climate change on the hydrology of the Churchill River watershed in Labrador. The partner organization, Nalcor Energy, is planning a multi-billion dollar hydroelectric development on the Churchill River and has a strong interest in the impact […]

CANDU 6 is a Canadian technology 700 MWe class nuclear power reactor. CANDU 6 reactors are performing well on four continents with over 150 reactor-years of excellent and safe operation. Candu Energy is a Canadian-based company that is enhancing this reactor design based on the experience and feedback that was gained in the development, design, […]

FortisBC proposes to replace a pipeline in Kamloops, B.C. Of concern are habitat losses, loss of native plant communities and alteration of the composition of plant communities due to introduction of invasive species. My research addresses the role of order of seed arrival, called priority effects, and soil amendments such as straw matting and wood […]

In this project, a novel Wireless Power Transmission Integrated Circuit (“WPTIC”) system capable of simultaneous power transmission to multiple devices at varying power needs and distances, through objects of various materials and densities are going to be developed. This system can be obtained by an innovative circuits and antennas structure to model and control the […]
