In the context of current greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and climate change mitigation goals, windenergy has received increasing attention worldwide, with technologies developed and used globally. Tomaintain the industry growth, innovative technologies must keep evolving, focusing on improving reliability,increasing capacity factors, and reducing costs. However, despite the rapid evolution of wind technology,high-performance system parts such as sensors and controllers are still flawed and lack selection. GagnonRenewable Resources Inc. (GRR herein) has been unable to source a controller that fits the needs of their newwind turbine, and thus, the company aims to develop a new innovative controller that will meet theirrequirements. Therefore, the objective of the new partnership between Collège Boréal and GRR is to conduct aproduct development and proof of concept study of a new innovative wind turbine controller. If the study issuccessful, GRR will have a new cutting-edge device to carry forward their new wind turbine system. This newsystem will contribute to the economic development of the company and will allow them to approach clientsand present them with clean energy options for their electricity needs. Through an experiential applied researchand learning setting, students participating in the project will gain new knowledge of wind turbine design andthe electrical signals and digital algorithms required in their controllers while under the supervision of aCollège Boréal professor.

在当前温室气体减排和减缓气候变化目标的背景下，风能在全球范围内受到越来越多的关注，技术在全球范围内开发和使用。为了保持行业增长，创新技术必须不断发展，重点是提高可靠性，增加容量系数和降低成本。然而，尽管风能技术发展迅速，但传感器和控制器等高性能系统部件仍然存在缺陷，缺乏选择。GagnonRenewable Resources Inc. (GRR在此）一直无法获得适合其新风涡轮机需求的控制器，因此，该公司的目标是开发一种新的创新控制器，以满足他们的需求。因此，Boréal学院和GRR之间新的合作伙伴关系的目标是进行产品开发和新的创新风力涡轮机控制器的概念验证研究。如果这项研究成功，GRR将有一个新的尖端装置来推进他们的新型风力涡轮机系统。这一新系统将有助于公司的经济发展，并使他们能够接近客户，为他们的电力需求提供清洁能源选择。通过体验式的应用研究和学习环境，参与该项目的学生将获得风力涡轮机设计的新知识，以及在他们的控制器中所需的电信号和数字算法，同时在学院Boréal教授的监督下。
