作为使加拿大成为清洁能源开发领跑者的全面计划的一部分，联邦 政府正在加快计划，到2030年逐步淘汰燃煤发电。燃煤发电 在加拿大，发电厂生产了相当大一部分的电力，因此消除它们构成了 对电力设施的可靠规划和运营提出了前所未有的挑战。这种情况进一步 由于电力公司的目标是增加间歇性和可变的渗透率， 可再生能源，如风力发电。为了解决上述问题， 综合能源系统，考虑到不同类型的能源需求之间的相互作用， 电力网络和天然气网络最近已经被提出。综合能源系统利用 这将有助于加强不同能源网络的相互依赖性，以确保这些网络的可靠运行。在这 在这方面，本项目旨在为综合能源开发制定全面的规划和运营方法， 在可再生能源渗透率高的情况下，这仍然处于起步阶段。 该项目的新研究成果将包括系统组件的精确模型，如能源 转换器，以及新的方法和模拟工具的规划，操作和可靠性措施， 综合能源系统。研究成果将为我国的农业产业化提供重要的技术投入和参考 与综合能源系统的设计有关，该系统将使电力和能源公用事业公司能够 未来可行的投资。这些工程将帮助加拿大实现安全、可靠和可持续的 电力供应，同时不断适应可再生能源发电量的增加。这 研究项目将帮助加拿大培养高素质的人才，特别是电力工程毕业生 他们将具备与先进的电力和能源系统相关的技能。

As part of a comprehensive plan to make Canada a front-runner in clean energy exploitation, the Federal Government is accelerating its plan to phase out coal-powered electricity generation by 2030. Coal-fired power plants produce a considerable portion of the electricity in Canada, and hence eliminating them poses unprecedented challenges to reliable planning and operation for electric utilities. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that electric utilities are aiming to increase the penetration of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources such as wind power in their systems. To address the aforementioned issues, integrated energy systems, which consider the interactions among different types of energy demand, the electricity network, and the gas network, have been recently proposed. Integrated energy systems exploit the interdependency of different energy networks so as to ensure the reliable operation of those networks. In this regard, this project aims to develop comprehensive planning and operation approaches for integrated energy systems in the presence of high renewable energy penetration, which is still in its infancy. Novel research outcomes of this project will include accurate models of system components, such as energy converters, and new approaches and simulation tools for planning, operation, and reliability measures of integrated energy systems. The research results will provide significant technological inputs and references related to the design of integrated energy systems that will allow power and energy utilities to make more viable investments in the future. These works will help Canada to achieve a safe, reliable, and sustainable power supply while continuously adapting to increasing power generation from renewable energy sources. This research project will help Canada train highly qualified personnel, specifically power engineering graduates who will be well-equipped with skill sets relevant to advanced power and energy systems.
