As major changes in Canada's energy infrastructure are underway to meet 2050 climate goals, there are numerous strategies with potential to make major headway and disrupt the energy industry in a positive way. This NSERC ARD 2- Alberta Innovates CASBE project aims to do just that and will involve collaboration between SAIT's Green Building Technologies (GBT) team, Home Completions Inc and ATCO to study the application of an active Phase Change Material (PCM)-based Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Appliance integrating with micro Combined Heat and Power (mCHP). This project will study the effectiveness of the PCM TES systems to efficiently solve surplus of heat and electricity of the mCHP, and the production of feasibility data on Demand-Side Management (DSM) for these systems. The goal is to efficiently arbitrage thermal and electrical energy to reduce overall natural gas and electrical consumption from the grid and encourage decentralized generation as a viable means for energy resiliency.By reducing energy demand during peak energy use hours and shifting that demand to hours of lower energy use, there is the opportunity to scale back high stress and pressure on the grid. Furthermore, as this TES is so versatile, it supports a wide range of energy systems, enabling sustainable energy performance in all Canadian climates while also promoting market variety. This will be especially beneficial to more rural areas, where energy may be unstable and at times completely unavailable. The outcomes of this project will provide much needed data on the effectiveness of PCM based TES in residential and small-commercial sectors for the Canadian cold climate. The project data will be used towards CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification of the Phase Change Material (PCM) based Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Appliance, further the goal of manufacturing in Canada and aid in the search for a Canadian Energy Management System provider to integrate with the appliance for smart control and Demand Response initiatives. This project aligns to federal goals of drastic energy reduction and bringing green energy technologies to the Canadian market.

随着加拿大能源基础设施的重大变革正在进行中，以实现2050年气候目标，有许多战略有可能取得重大进展并以积极的方式颠覆能源行业。这个NSERC ARD 2-阿尔伯塔创新CASBE项目旨在做到这一点，并将涉及SAIT的绿色建筑技术（GBT）团队，家庭完成公司和ATCO之间的合作，研究应用主动相变材料（PCM）为基础的热能存储（TES）与微型热电联产（mCHP）集成的设备。本项目将研究PCM TES系统在有效解决mCHP的热和电过剩方面的有效性，并为这些系统提供需求侧管理（DSM）的可行性数据。我们的目标是有效地套利热能和电能，以减少电网的天然气和电力总消耗，并鼓励分散发电作为能源弹性的可行手段。通过减少能源使用高峰时段的能源需求，并将该需求转移到能源使用较低的时段，有机会减少电网的高压力和压力。此外，由于这种TES是如此通用，它支持广泛的能源系统，使可持续能源性能在所有加拿大气候，同时也促进市场的多样性。这将特别有利于更多的农村地区，那里的能源可能不稳定，有时完全无法获得。该项目的成果将提供急需的数据PCM为基础的工商业污水附加费在加拿大寒冷气候的住宅和小型商业部门的有效性。该项目数据将用于CSA（加拿大标准协会）对基于相变材料（PCM）的热能存储（TES）设备的认证，进一步实现在加拿大制造的目标，并帮助寻找加拿大能源管理系统供应商，以与智能控制和需求响应计划的设备集成。该项目符合联邦大幅度减少能源和将绿色能源技术带入加拿大市场的目标。
