Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) have been identified as a key strategic area of research and development byNatural Resources Canada, which released a detailed SMR Roadmap in November 2018. Two proposed rolesfor SMRs are in remote communities, and mining and oil/gas sites. In these types of applications, no traditionalpower grid is present, and often renewable energy resources also constitute desirable sources of energy. Toensure the safe and reliable operation of SMRs in conjunction with diverse types of renewable energy systemsin an off-grid environment, it is important that we have reliable and robust Instrumentation & Control (I&C)systems. Instrumentation & control systems are the brain and nervous systems for SMRs, and also enable theintegration and operation with other types of energy systems to form a microgrid. In the previous three terms ofthe NSERC/UNENE Industrial Research Chair (IRC) program, Dr. Jin Jiang has excelled in the areas ofmodeling, control, and wireless technologies for performance monitoring for nuclear power plants. He has alsoestablished a strong research program in microgrids based on renewable energy resources. Two state-of-the-artlabs are established to support research in these fields. The goal of the research in the fourth term of this IRCprogram is to further leverage the experience gained, and the infrastructure established, over the last 15 years tocarry out much needed research on I&C for SMRs and the integration of SMRs into renewable energymicrogrids, and to continue training of HQPs for Canadian industry by developing their leadership qualitiesand innovation skills.The proposed research is divided into three themes: (1) Control & Operation of SMRs; (2) Monitoring ofHealth and Operating Status of SMRs; and (3) Integration of SMRs with Different Energy Sources in off-gridMicrogrids. Under each theme, there are 3 projects. It is expected that the research will make significantoriginal contributions in this strategic area for Canada and will also train 18 HQPs over the next 5 years.

小型模块化反应堆 (SMR) 已被加拿大自然资源部确定为研发的关键战略领域，并于 2018 年 11 月发布了详细的 SMR 路线图。SMR 的两个拟议角色是在偏远社区以及采矿和石油/天然气场所。在这些类型的应用中，不存在传统的电网，并且可再生能源通常也构成理想的能源。为了确保中小型反应堆与各种类型的可再生能源系统在离网环境中安全可靠地运行，我们拥有可靠且强大的仪表与控制 (I&C) 系统非常重要。仪表和控制系统是小型堆的大脑和神经系统，也能够与其他类型的能源系统集成和运行，形成微电网。在 NSERC/UNENE 工业研究主席 (IRC) 项目的前三届任期中，Jin Jiang 博士在核电厂性能监测的建模、控制和无线技术领域表现出色。他还建立了基于可再生能源的强大微电网研究计划。建立了两个最先进的实验室来支持这些领域的研究。 IRC 项目第四学期的研究目标是进一步利用过去 15 年所获得的经验和建立的基础设施，对 SMR 的 I&C 以及 SMR 与可再生能源微电网的集成进行急需的研究，并通过发展领导素质和创新技能，继续对加拿大工业界的总部人员进行培训。拟议的研究分为三个主题：（1）中小型反应堆的控制和操作； (2) 中小型反应堆的健康和运行状态监测； (3) SMR 与不同能源在离网微电网中的集成。每个主题下有3个项目。预计该研究将为加拿大在这一战略领域做出重大的原创贡献，并将在未来 5 年内培训 18 名总部人员。
