The University of Ottawa's SUNLAB Solar Research Group is joining forces with Solantro Semiconductor to tackle the development of clean energy systems that will bring affordable and smart electrical grid technology to market. The collaboration is developing a "nanogrid" architecture, which is a residential-sized power system that includes solar power, batteries and energy management to create a complete yet small grid that can be operated as a stand-alone power system, be interconnected with other nanogrids, or be connected to a main electricity grid. Present day small grids are more expensive to build and operate, and yet provide poorer and less reliable power to remote communities. Our research will implement a nanogrid architecture using Solantro's integrated circuit chipsets to provide a low-cost solution that innovatively establishes a stable self-forming grid; combined with the small size, the result is a plug-n-play scalable offering that can also learn and adapt to power needs and available resources. This research proposal will undertake a full system implementation of the technology with a 10 kW rooftop solar system located at the University of Ottawa. Researchers will study in-depth the performance against a wide range of system configurations and environmental conditions. Outcomes will lead to chipsets available for commercialization into next generation power conditioning equipment sold by numerous vendors. The markets for this technology are vast and growing quickly, including remote Canadian communities, developing villages around the globe, urban residential and commercial buildings, and government agencies requiring energy security. The research will also train a wave of new engineering students into the burgeoning smart grid and renewable energy power sector.**

渥太华大学的 SUNLAB 太阳能研究小组正在与 Solantro Semiconductor 联手开发清洁能源系统，将经济实惠的智能电网技术推向市场。此次合作正在开发一种“纳米电网”架构，这是一个住宅规模的电力系统，包括太阳能、电池和能源管理，以创建一个完整而小型的电网，可以作为独立电力系统运行，也可以与其他电力系统互连。纳米电网，或连接到主电网。目前，小型电网的建设和运营成本更高，但为偏远社区提供的电力质量较差、可靠性较差。我们的研究将利用Solantro的集成电路芯片组实现纳米电网架构，以提供低成本的解决方案，创新性地建立稳定的自形成电网；结合小尺寸，其结果是即插即用的可扩展产品，还可以学习和适应电力需求和可用资源。该研究计划将利用位于渥太华大学的 10 kW 屋顶太阳能系统对该技术进行全面系统实施。研究人员将深入研究各种系统配置和环境条件下的性能。 结果将导致芯片组可商业化为众多供应商销售的下一代功率调节设备。这项技术的市场巨大且增长迅速，包括加拿大偏远社区、全球发展中的村庄、城市住宅和商业建筑以及需要能源安全的政府机构。 该研究还将培训一批新的工科学生进入蓬勃发展的智能电网和可再生能源电力领域。**
