As of 2020, almost 30 kilotonnes of black carbon were emitted in Canada, with transportation and heavy mobile equipment representing the largest source of black carbon emission. Filtration of carbon soot from the engine oil is traditionally very difficult and uneconomical. With Canada committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40-45% from 2005 levels by 2030 and to ensure that the black carbon removal process can be achieved efficiently with minimal environmental impact, it is essential to shift towards green power solutions for processing black carbon soot removal. Photovoltaic (PV) energy provides an attractive alternative green power source. Supported by OMTEC Inc, the objective of the proposed research project is to develop a highly power efficient PV energy conversion scheme for use in microwave heating technology for eliminating carbon soot in diesel engines automobiles' used engine oil. To be specific, this research project will: (1) develop a cost-effective single-stage PV maximum power point tracker with high voltage gain capability for interfacing with the magnetron for use as the microwave energy source, (2) investigate the optimal amount of microwave heat energy for effective carbon soot removal, (3) develop an energy management control scheme to maximize the PV-to-microwave energy conversion rate for a wide range of PV irradiation levels, and (4) develop and test proof-of-concept hardware power electronic prototypes in a real microwave energy generation environment. As the proposed project focuses on the development of a clean carbon soot removal process, the development and adoption of more efficient and clean diesel powered automobiles will reduce GHG significantly and result in health benefits to Canadians.

截至2020年，加拿大排放了近30吨黑碳，其中交通和重型移动设备是黑碳排放的最大来源。 从发动机油中过滤碳烟传统上是非常困难且不经济的。 加拿大承诺到 2030 年将其温室气体 (GHG) 排放量比 2005 年的水平减少 40-45%，并确保以最小的环境影响有效地实现黑碳去除过程，因此必须转向绿色电力解决方案处理黑碳烟灰去除。 光伏（PV）能源提供了一种有吸引力的替代绿色能源。 在 OMTEC Inc 的支持下，拟议研究项目的目标是开发一种高能效光伏能量转换方案，用于微波加热技术，以消除柴油发动机和汽车用过的发动机油中的碳烟。 具体来说，该研究项目将：（1）开发一种具有高电压增益能力的经济高效的单级光伏最大功率点跟踪器，用于与磁控管连接用作微波能源，（2）研究最佳用量微波热能有效去除碳烟，(3) 开发能源管理控制方案，以在各种光伏辐照水平下最大限度地提高光伏到微波的能量转换率，以及 (4) 开发和测试证明真实微波能量中的概念硬件电力电子原型生成环境。 由于拟议项目的重点是开发清洁的碳烟灰去除工艺，因此开发和采用更高效、更清洁的柴油动力汽车将显着减少温室气体排放，并为加拿大人的健康带来好处。
