The Northern Energy Consortium (NEC) represent the energy industry across the northern territories.Comprised of Yukon Energy Corporation, ATCO Electric, Northwest Territories Power Corporation, andQulliq Energy Corporation, the NEC agreed that the most effective way to find solutions for their commonissues was to join together to combine knowledge and resources. The NEC understood in order to accomplishthe scope of innovative solutions that was envisioned, an expert in the energy field was necessary who had anestablished history of working closely with industry. Over the five years, the proposed Industrial ResearchChair (IRC) will execute an industry-led applied research program. The program will focus on investigatingsolutions to common issues of northern and remote energy systems. The IRC will provide a framework forsharing experiences, research guidelines, and solutions to help northern utilities plan for future expansion andimprovement of their systems. The partnership has identified a need for applied research in several streamsincluding: (i) better utilizing existing non-renewable infrastructure for improved efficiency; (ii) integrating ahigh penetration of volatile renewable energy; (iii) investigating the integration of energy storage anddemand-side management solutions; and (iv) developing and/or improving energy technologies, methods andprotocols that work in the North and benefit the industry members of the NEC, energy consumers, and theenvironment. The IRC will provide a research hub for the study of the integration of novel technologies in aneconomically, socially, and environmentally conscious and responsible manner. The goal of the project is todevelop an industry-driven research program while increasing knowledge and technology transfer betweenYukon College students, faculty, and staff and the pan-territorial energy industry. This transfer will equip theworkforce with highly qualified personnel trained and versed with technological solutions pertinent to theneeds for energy systems in the northern context.

北方能源联盟 (NEC) 代表整个北部地区的能源行业。NEC 由育空能源公司、ATCO 电力公司、西北地区电力公司和 Qulliq 能源公司组成，NEC 一致认为，为共同问题找到解决方案的最有效方法是联合起来，整合知识和资源。 NEC 明白，为了实现所设想的创新解决方案的范围，需要一位具有与行业密切合作历史的能源领域专家。在五年内，拟议的工业研究主席（IRC）将执行行业主导的应用研究计划。该计划将重点研究北方和偏远能源系统常见问题的解决方案。 IRC 将提供一个共享经验、研究指南和解决方案的框架，以帮助北方公用事业公司规划其系统的未来扩展和改进。该伙伴关系确定了在多个领域进行应用研究的需求，包括：（i）更好地利用现有的不可再生基础设施以提高效率； (ii) 整合不稳定的可再生能源的高渗透率； (iii) 研究储能和需求侧管理解决方案的整合； (iv) 开发和/或改进适用于北方并有利于 NEC 行业成员、能源消费者和环境的能源技术、方法和协议。 IRC 将为研究以经济、社会和环境意识和负责任的方式整合新技术提供一个研究中心。该项目的目标是开发一个行业驱动的研究计划，同时增加育空学院学生、教职员工和泛领土能源行业之间的知识和技术转让。此次转移将为劳动力配备经过培训并熟悉与北方能源系统需求相关的技术解决方案的高素质人员。
