Rely on AI to Facilitate the Integration of Local and Decentralized Renewable Energy
Université Laval and McGill University are leading two collaborative projects involving Hydro-Québec, Opal-RT and Vizimax (McGill University project). The technologies developed as part of these projects will facilitate the integration of locally produced and decentralized renewable energy into the Hydro-Québec grid, relying on artificial intelligence. This additional capacity is essential to achieve the government's objectives of electrifying the economy and to meet its GHG emission targets.

Reducing the Cost of Solar Panel Components Through the Use of Innovative Materials - PEELER Project
STACE and Umicore NV/SA are collaborating with the University of Sherbrooke to develop a unique industrial process, more ecological, less energy-consuming who allows the recycling of the Germanium substrate. This new technology will significantly reduce the high cost of substrates for high efficiency solar cells through the use of innovative nanomaterials.

Project example
An Intelligent Tractor in Response to Labour Shortages in the Agricultural Industry
Resulting from the collaboration between IVI and Elmec, a new concept of autonomous electrically powered agricultural robot has been developed in Quebec. The tractor moves without the assistance of an operator and drives itself to a mobile recharging unit, refuels and returns to work. A prototype was tested in a real environment and was conclusive. The robot tractor units will be assembled in Elmec's new plant in Trois-Rivières.
