CREATE - Hybrid Thermal Electric Microgrid (HyTEM)

NSERC CREATE for Hybrid Thermal Electric Microgrid（HyTEM）是一项变革性的培训计划，旨在满足培养具有跨学科知识和技能的高素质人才（HQP）的迫切需求，以开发和实施新型可持续微电网系统。这些微电网能够将分布式能源（DER）集成到电力和热力网络中，因此它们可以根据需求和供应模式协调工作。其目标是开发“独立微电网”，即不与综合网络连接，在北方，离网社区以及“微电网系统”，需要与电力和热力网络无缝不间断地集成。HyTEM提供全面的培训，涵盖工程以及商业，技术经济，环境，社会和政策制定方面。除了开发技术外，HQP还将接受培训，以了解复杂的政策和法规，并将他们的发现传达给政策制定者和公众，这些技能在加拿大的工程项目中基本上是缺失的。HyTEM的结构围绕四个要素：i）在混合微电网的技术，全球和社会方面专门设计的新课程; ii）跨学科的“团队项目”和“项目团队”; iii）专业和软技能培训; iv）与加拿大，日本，俄罗斯，丹麦，英国和欧洲的学术和（国际）国家实验室的实习和合作机会。HyTEM整合了来自6所合作大学（SFU，UBC，Carleton，渥太华，Ryerson和Waterloo）的11个研究团队的专业知识和基础设施，以及30个合作机构，包括国家实验室，领先的国际研究中心，非营利性智库和行业合作伙伴。人才、专业知识和技术将提高加拿大开发下一代清洁能源解决方案的能力，减少排放和环境影响，并为所有加拿大人提供能源和就业保障。

NSERC CREATE for Hybrid Thermal Electric Microgrid (HyTEM) is a transformative training program that serves the pressing need to train highly qualified personnel (HQP) with the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills to develop and implement novel sustainable microgrid systems. These microgrids enable integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into electric and thermal networks, so they can work in harmony based on demand and supply patterns. The objective is to develop both "stand-alone microgrids", where there is no connection to an integrated network, e.g., in Northern, off-grid communities, as well as "systems of microgrids", where seamless uninterrupted integration with electric and thermal networks is desired. HyTEM offers a holistic training that covers engineering as well as business, techno-economical, environmental, social, and policymaking aspects. In addition to developing technologies, HQP will be trained to navigate complex policies and regulations and communicate their findings to policymakers and the public, the skills that are largely missing in engineering programs in Canada. HyTEM is structured around four elements: i) specially designed new courses in the technical, global, and social aspects of hybrid microgrids; ii) interdisciplinary "team projects" and "project teams"; iii) professional and soft skills training; and iv) internship and collaboration opportunities with academic and (inter)national laboratories in Canada, Japan, Russia, Denmark, UK, and Europe. HyTEM integrates the expertise and infrastructure of 11 research teams from the 6 partner universities (SFU, UBC, Carleton, Ottawa, Ryerson, and Waterloo) with 30 partner institutions, including national labs, leading international research centers, non-profit think tanks, and industry partners. The talent, expertise, and technologies will enhance Canada's ability to develop the next-generation of clean energy solutions, reduce emissions and environmental impacts, and provide energy and job security for the benefit of all Canadians.
