How to use energy system models to analyze paths to net zero emissions
June 23, 2022 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
The path to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 in Atlantic Canada is both time- and resource-constrained. Energy system models can be used in this context to compare climate change mitigation options and to strategically plan for meeting climate change goals through cost-effective and timely means. To provide decision-making support, however, models must be robustly configured with appropriate data and assumptions and their results carefully tested, analyzed, and contextualized by the limitations of modelling exercises. In this webinar, energy system modeller Cameron Wade

Advancing environmental monitoring capabilities for the tidal industry in the Bay of Fundy
June 9, 2022 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
The Pathway Program, a collaborative $3 million, multi-year initiative led by Net Zero Atlantic, wraps up in March of 2022. Through a breadth of research projects conducted over the past several years, the program successfully advanced environmental effects monitoring capabilities for the tidal industry in the Bay of Fundy. In this webinar, Pathway Program partners DP Energy, SOAR, and FORCE will 1) report on the work they carried out as part of collaborative initiative, 2) share notable findings, successes, and lessons learned, and 3) discuss next steps for the tidal industry a

Alba Nova - Smart Grid Pilot
May 26, 2022 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
Equilibrium Engineering (Canada) and StorTera (Scotland) partnered with the Town of Berwick and Dalhousie University to launch an exciting smart grid project under Natural Resource Canada's Power Forward Challenge. Join us as we hear about the Alba Nova - Smart Grid Pilot. A project focused on supporting the Town of Berwick's existing electrical utility. The installation of a mixture of energy storage assets in combination with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and a novel distributed artificial intelligence (AI) control system will help to shape Berwick's future electric gr

Repurposing Used Electric Vehicle Batteries as Grid Energy Storage
May 5, 2022 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT
The battery-powered electric vehicle (EV) is a key technological solution needed to decarbonize the global economy, and production of new EVs is already growing exponentially. However, this solution also introduces a new problem: what will we do with many millions of used EV batteries when today’s EVs reach end of life? While cost-effective recycling will ultimately be critical, used EV batteries can first be repurposed as a more sustainable and affordable means to store energy on the electricity grid and expedite grid decarbonization.

Opportunities for Thermal Energy Storage and Demand Response
February 24, 2022 – February 24, 2202
In Nova Scotia, a large portion of the energy used in buildings provides space heating and hot water. This large heat energy demand is also an opportunity to store energy when it’s available, for later use, to respond to temporal variations in renewable energy supply. The NSCC Applied Energy Research team is working on several research projects with industry partners to develop and test systems for storing and managing heat energy.
