CUE and Celestica will work together to develop a testing solution for use with a variety of EV chargers. The solution will help OEMs and manufacturers accelerate new product launch activities and gain performance insights into their designs to enable advanced continuous improvement.
CUE will develop tools and frameworks to support the seamless integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) into the Hydro One grid to improve reliability and electrification for customers.
With a legacy of more than 365 published papers and technical reports, six patent applications, 95 events and 58 percent of its graduates moved to the energy sector, the highly successful pan-Canadian NESTNet led by CUE completed its six-year term in 2021.
CUE will forecast growth of the electric vehicle (EV) and photovoltaic markets from 2021 to 2030 to determine the optimal proportional relationship between population and available EV chargers. CUE will also use Opus One’s GridOS solution to analyze the impact of EV growth on a New Delhi utility distribution feeder and provide technology solutions such as energy storage to mitigate overloading.
In a second project, CUE will develop designs for utility pole-mounted energy storage for InnPower and Evergreen Brickworks in Ontario and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited in New Delhi, India.
CUE will recommend ways to increase energy efficiency in residential buildings, find solutions to offset the financial impact of reducing greenhouse gases and power consumption and provide emergency power solutions for life safety where appropriate.
CUE will study combinations of ownership, management and beneficiaries to identify planning and operational strategies to achieve the strongest economic outcome, optimal size of energy storage, and ideal charge and discharge schedules for the utility.
Connected to the Schneider Electric Smart Grid Lab, the revolutionary TEDS Lab models, tests and analyzes transactive energy distribution systems. Transactive systems enable the economic operations of energy distribution and create opportunities to trade energy and ancillary services within the distribution sector.
our programs
Professional Master’s Diploma in Energy and Innovation
- This part-time program aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to function competently as operators, officers, administrators, managers, technicians, analysts, policy advisors and other key occupations in the fast-growing and rapidly changing Canadian energy sector.
Electrical Engineering 101
- This seminar series introduces the fundamental concepts of electrical engineering to those without an engineering background looking to break into or advance their career.
Customized Executive Education Programs
- CUE delivers seminars and workshops developed for the unique needs of Canadian organizations and international groups. Optional daytime and evening networking events can also be added to give groups an exclusive opportunity to connect with Ontario’s energy leaders and policymakers.
Have an idea for an urban energy startup?
The Clean Energy Zone is an industry-leading, campus-based incubator located at the Centre for Urban Energy. Since its inception, 50 startups have passed through the Zone, including million-dollar companies such as Argentum Electronics, in the smart buildings space, and Elocity, which is focused on the electric vehicle charging ecosystem.
