In the context of current greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and climate change mitigation goals, windenergy has received increasing attention worldwide, with technologies developed and used globally. Tomaintain the industry growth, innovative technologies must keep evolving, focusing on improving reliability,increasing capacity factors, and reducing costs. However, despite the rapid evolution of wind technology,high-performance system parts such as sensors and controllers are still flawed and lack selection. GagnonRenewable Resources Inc. (GRR herein) has been unable to source a controller that fits the needs of their newwind turbine, and thus, the company aims to develop a new innovative controller that will meet theirrequirements. Therefore, the objective of the new partnership between Collège Boréal and GRR is to conduct aproduct development and proof of concept study of a new innovative wind turbine controller. If the study issuccessful, GRR will have a new cutting-edge device to carry forward their new wind turbine system. This newsystem will contribute to the economic development of the company and will allow them to approach clientsand present them with clean energy options for their electricity needs. Through an experiential applied researchand learning setting, students participating in the project will gain new knowledge of wind turbine design andthe electrical signals and digital algorithms required in their controllers while under the supervision of aCollège Boréal professor.

在当前温室气体（GHG）减排和减缓气候变化目标的背景下，风能在全球范围内日益受到关注，为了保持行业增长，创新技术必须不断发展，重点是提高可靠性、增加容量。然而，尽管风能技术快速发展，传感器和控制器等高性能系统部件仍然存在缺陷并且缺乏选择。因此，该公司的目标是开发一款能够满足其要求的新型创新控制器。因此，Collège Boréal 和 GRR 之间新合作的目标是进行产品开发和概念验证研究。如果研究成功，GRR 将拥有一种新的尖端设备来推广他们的新型风力涡轮机系统，该新系统将为公司的经济发展做出贡献，并使他们能够接近客户并向他们展示。清洁能源通过体验式应用研究和学习环境，参与该项目的学生将在 Boréal 学院教授的监督下获得风力涡轮机设计以及控制器所需的电信号和数字算法的新知识。
