As major changes in Canada's energy infrastructure are underway to meet 2050 climate goals, there are numerous strategies with potential to make major headway and disrupt the energy industry in a positive way. This NSERC ARD 2- Alberta Innovates CASBE project aims to do just that and will involve collaboration between SAIT's Green Building Technologies (GBT) team, Home Completions Inc and ATCO to study the application of an active Phase Change Material (PCM)-based Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Appliance integrating with micro Combined Heat and Power (mCHP). This project will study the effectiveness of the PCM TES systems to efficiently solve surplus of heat and electricity of the mCHP, and the production of feasibility data on Demand-Side Management (DSM) for these systems. The goal is to efficiently arbitrage thermal and electrical energy to reduce overall natural gas and electrical consumption from the grid and encourage decentralized generation as a viable means for energy resiliency.By reducing energy demand during peak energy use hours and shifting that demand to hours of lower energy use, there is the opportunity to scale back high stress and pressure on the grid. Furthermore, as this TES is so versatile, it supports a wide range of energy systems, enabling sustainable energy performance in all Canadian climates while also promoting market variety. This will be especially beneficial to more rural areas, where energy may be unstable and at times completely unavailable. The outcomes of this project will provide much needed data on the effectiveness of PCM based TES in residential and small-commercial sectors for the Canadian cold climate. The project data will be used towards CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification of the Phase Change Material (PCM) based Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Appliance, further the goal of manufacturing in Canada and aid in the search for a Canadian Energy Management System provider to integrate with the appliance for smart control and Demand Response initiatives. This project aligns to federal goals of drastic energy reduction and bringing green energy technologies to the Canadian market.

为了实现 2050 年气候目标，加拿大能源基础设施正在进行重大变革，因此有许多战略有可能取得重大进展并以积极的方式颠覆能源行业。 NSERC ARD 2-阿尔伯塔创新 CASBE 项目旨在实现这一目标，并将涉及 SAIT 绿色建筑技术 (GBT) 团队、Home Completions Inc 和 ATCO 之间的合作，研究基于活性相变材料 (PCM) 的热能的应用与微型热电联产 (mCHP) 集成的存储 (TES) 设备。该项目将研究 PCM TES 系统有效解决 mCHP 热电过剩问题的有效性，以及为这些系统生成需求侧管理 (DSM) 的可行性数据。目标是有效套利热能和电能，以减少电网的整体天然气和电力消耗，并鼓励分散式发电作为能源弹性的可行手段。通过减少能源使用高峰时段的能源需求，并将需求转移到较低时段能源使用，有机会减少电网的高压力。此外，由于该 TES 用途广泛，因此它支持广泛的能源系统，在加拿大所有气候条件下实现可持续能源绩效，同时促进市场多样性。这对更多农村地区尤其有利，因为那里的能源可能不稳定，有时甚至完全无法使用。该项目的成果将为加拿大寒冷气候下住宅和小型商业部门中基于 PCM 的 TES 的有效性提供急需的数据。该项目数据将用于基于相变材料 (PCM) 的热能存储 (TES) 设备的 CSA（加拿大标准协会）认证，进一步实现加拿大制造的目标，并帮助寻找加拿大能源管理系统提供商与设备集成以实现智能控制和需求响应计划。该项目符合大幅减少能源消耗并将绿色能源技术引入加拿大市场的联邦目标。
