SUMMARY:Measuring Carbon in Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Date: December 4\, 2024 \nTime: 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM \nEvent Format: Hybrid Presentation \nLocation: Saskatoon\, SK \nHosting Organization: Saskatchewan Energy Management Task Force \nEvent Summary: Measuring Carbon in Buildings – There is lots of talk currently about Zero Carbon Buildings. In this presentation Kelly will discuss why this matters\, what it means\, and how we show that a building could become a Zero Carbon Building. Topics will include embodied carbon\, operational carbon\, emissions factors\, carbon measurement\, standards\, and strategies related to carbon reduction. We will also look at some of the tools and strategies that can help quantify the greenhouse gas impacts of both new and existing buildings. \nKelly Winder\, P.Eng.– is a principal at Crosier Kilgour in charge of energy modelling. He has over three decades of experience\, including 7 years with the Saskatchewan Research Council as a building scientist\, and is an ASHRAE Building Energy Modelling Professional. Kelly’s expertise includes building energy modelling\, renewable energy system modelling\, and building envelope analysis. Kelly is a board member of the SES Solar Co-op in Saskatoon. \nHow to Register: Click here for more information and to register \nEvent Contact: Saskatchewan Energy Management Task Force – contact@emtfsask.ca \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the hosting organization and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS.

SUMMARY:Design and Development of Hybrid Renewable Microgrids - An APEGS Webinar - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Date: December 4\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CST (Saskatchewan Time) \nEvent Format:  Live Webinar – Microsoft Teams \nHosting Organization: APEGS – A Member-Led Live Webinar Series Presentation \nEvent Summary: Today\, due to environmental concerns about CO2 emissions in the power generation sector and increasing electricity demands\, renewable energy resources are becoming increasingly popular. The rate of renewable penetration in power systems is growing faster than it did two decades ago. Renewable energies can be utilized on a large scale\, such as at the utility level\, or on a smaller scale\, such as residential or commercial applications\, where they can operate in isolated mode. The utilization of renewable energy resources is often carried out through the concept of microgrids. A microgrid is a combination of two or more renewable energy resources that collaborate within a controllable architecture to provide reliable power to loads. Microgrids can either be connected to the utility power grid or operate independently in isolated mode. This presentation focuses on the design and development of hybrid renewable microgrids for remote communities in Northern Saskatchewan. It is based on a research project conducted at the University of Regina. The presentation covers the basics of designing a hybrid microgrid and introduces the use of Vortex turbines and Vanadium Flow Batteries as potential distributed units for power production applications in Saskatchewan. \nPresenter: Mehdi Hedayatpour\, Engineer-in-Training – Mehdi’s interest in engineering began in high school and continued on to Polytechnique and university where he earned an Associate degree and a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. Mehdi then pursued a Master’s degree in electrical engineering\, specializing in power system control\, operation\, and renewable energies. After completing his military service and gaining some work experience\, Mehdi developed an interest in mechanical engineering. He earned a second Master’s degree in Industrial System Engineering\, during which he worked on two research projects: the design and development of a military hybrid electric tank\, and the design and development of hybrid renewable power plants for remote communities. Mehdi graduated from the University of Regina in February 2024. He currently works at SaskPower as an electrical engineer in the Hydro & Renewable department. \nWho Should Attend: Electrical engineers\, civil engineers\, mechanical engineers\, and utility company specialists. \nGeneral Information: There is no cost to attend\, but registration is required. This webinar is eligible for Formal Activity CPD credit. This event will be held live on the Microsoft Teams platform.  The meeting link will be sent by end of day on December 2\, 2024 to the email address in which you registered for this event. \nNOTE: Clicking the ‘Add to Calendar’ button on this page does NOT register you for this event. \nThis webinar is now full. If you need to cancel your registration to this event\, please email cpd@apegs.ca. \nEvent Contact: APEGS Professional Development Department – Angela Foster or Jolene Arthur – cpd@apegs.ca \nDisclaimer: The views expressed during this event are those of the presenters and do not necessarily represent the views of APEGS. \n
