Simulation and optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems in northern Canada**

加拿大的偏远社区严重依赖柴油作为主要能源。由于燃料价格上涨、燃料运输和储存的不利影响以及碳足迹的增加，能源政策已开始采取更加有利于环境健康的办法。在这种情况下，混合可再生能源系统（HRES），其中包括当地可再生能源和能源储存系统已成为一个可行的解决方案。在实际部署之前，必须彻底分析HRES的最佳设计和功率管理;特别是在将大部分可再生能源整合到较小的离网电力系统中时。*Solar Solutions Canada Inc.是可再生能源领域的专业实体，希望调查将HRES集成到加拿大北方离网电力系统中的可行性。Solar Solutions Inc.在许多可再生能源项目的实际实施方面有经验，但他们缺乏资源和时间来研究优化孤立电网和能源管理系统的方法。* 本项目旨在满足这一迫切需求，并启动Solar Solutions Canada Inc.和马尼托巴大学的目标是在通往更清洁，更安全和优质能源的道路上取得更高的前景。该项目还将培养两名研究生。*

Remote communities in Canada rely heavily on diesel as their primary energy resource. Owing to the growth in fuel prices, the adverse effects of fuel transportation and storage, and increased carbon footprint, energy policies have started to take a more environmentally healthy approach. In this context, Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES) which incorporate locally available renewable energy sources and energy storage systems have emerged as a viable solution. The optimum design and power management of HRES must be thoroughly analysed before actual deployment; especially when integrating large shares of renewable energy into smaller off-grid power systems. ****Solar Solutions Canada Inc. is a specialized entity in the field of renewable energy that wants to investigate the feasibility of integrating HRES in the off-grid power systems in Northern Canada. Solar Solutions Inc. has experience in practical implementation of many renewable energy projects, but they are short of resources and time to research methodologies for optimization of isolated grids and energy management systems. ****This project aims to fulfill this immediate need and to initiate collaborative research between Solar Solutions Canada Inc. and University of Manitoba with the aim of yielding high prospects on a path towards cleaner, safer and quality energy resources. This project will also contribute to train two graduate students.******
