In Canada, energy production and consumption accounts for 81% of national greenhouse gas emissions. This is higher than the global average due to Canada's extreme temperatures and a population dispersed across great distances. Although these factors present obstacles to Canada's transition to lower-carbon energy systems, they also provide the opportunity to advance Canadian renewable energy and clean technology sectors. In Ontario, 33% of electricity generation is from renewable sources. By 2021, an expected 56,500 jobs in Ontario are expected to be created, in the renewable energy and clean technology sector generating $3 billion in employment earnings, and contributing $5.4 billion to provincial GDP. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is the hub of the sector in Ontario. In the GTA, it employs over 36,000 people at over 1,700 companies. Over the past 15 years, Centennial College has developed extensive expertise and facilities to support renewable energy applied research, including a team of highly experienced researchers and the development of core infrastructure. Centennial College's NSERC IE (2012-2018) supported a renewable energy research program focused on conducting renewable energy technology demonstrations, testing, and prototype evaluation to help Toronto-area SMEs overcome technical challenges and bring products to market. As these technologies have become commodified, the need for applied research by Canadian industry has shifted to new technologies. Extensive industry consultations throughout 2018-19 led to Centennial College focusing on helping SMEs overcome the product development challenges of technologies that store, manage and optimize energy. This proposal presents a research program involving seven partner companies (with more expected to join as the program gets underway) with technology development goals in this area.

在加拿大，能源生产和消费占全国温室气体排放量的81%。由于加拿大的极端气温和人口分散，这一数字高于全球平均水平。尽管这些因素给加拿大向低碳能源系统转型带来了障碍，但它们也提供了推动加拿大可再生能源和清洁技术行业发展的机会。在安大略省，33% 的发电来自可再生能源。到2021年，预计安大略省可再生能源和清洁技术领域将创造56,500个就业岗位，创造30亿加元的就业收入，并为该省GDP贡献54亿加元。大多伦多地区 (GTA) 是安大略省该行业的中心。在大多伦多地区，该公司拥有 1,700 多家公司、36,000 多名员工。在过去的 15 年里，百年理工学院开发了广泛的专业知识和设施来支持可再生能源应用研究，包括一支经验丰富的研究人员团队和核心基础设施的开发。 Centennial College 的 NSERC IE (2012-2018) 支持一项可再生能源研究计划，重点是进行可再生能源技术演示、测试和原型评估，以帮助多伦多地区的中小企业克服技术挑战并将产品推向市场。随着这些技术的商品化，加拿大工业界对应用研究的需求已转向新技术。 2018-19 年期间广泛的行业咨询促使 Centennial College 致力于帮助中小企业克服能源存储、管理和优化技术的产品开发挑战。该提案提出了一项涉及七家合作伙伴公司的研究计划（随着计划的开展，预计会有更多合作伙伴公司加入）以及该领域的技术开发目标。
