Canada' action on climate change has mandated the urgent need to cut down greenhouse gas emissions from energy and transportation-the two most polluting sectors. Increasing the hosting capacity of distributed energy resources, electrification of transportation, and increasing the production of renewable fuel (e.g., hydrogen), are identified as the key low-carbon solutions. Yet, the widespread adoption of such technologies is creating a paradigm shift of the way energy is produced, traded, distributed, and utilized. Although such a shift is peerless, it is accompanied with serious technological implementation challenges that might reach the point of diminishing returns. To that end, the proposed research program seeks to advance knowledge and engineering practices through the development of timely and original solutions to key problems and integration barriers facing the energy sector during the evolution towards low-carbon systems. Specifically, the technical and economic aspects related to the design and operation practices of power, natural gas, and transport systems will be combined all together into a low-carbon and  integrated energy system (IES). In this regard, new optimization models for the design of IESs will be formulated. The optimization models will be utilized as a decision-making support toolbox to evaluate and enhance the technical and economic aspects associated with the adoption of IES in order to: (1) facilitate seamless integration for high penetration levels of renewable energy resources, (2) provide flexible operation options for the electricity and natural gas systems, and (3) increase the adoption of fuel cell electric vehicles to compete with battery-based ones through the provision of reliable and sustainable hydrogen fuelling stations. Also, a fully distributed communication platform will be developed to enhance message reliability, interoperability, and scalability among control units of IES by utilizing the Internet of Things technologies. The platform will be used to develop a blockchain-based transactive energy system and pricing mechanisms to control and manage distributed decision makings in IESs. Further, issues that would challenge the cyber-physical security of IESs will be investigated and innovative distributed solutions will be developed in order to strengthen the capability of IESs to prevent, and respond to and recover from cyber threats. The new knowledge and solutions generated throughout this research will begin to situate IES stakeholders in Canada at the forefront of this emerging energy future. The proposed IES framework will improve the grid reliability, resiliency, security, and facilitate seamless adoption for high penetration levels of renewable generation and electric vehicles. This will, in turn, help ensure cleaner, sustainable, and affordable delivery of energy, foundations for new market structures, and a higher service quality for customers in Canada.

加拿大应对气候变化的行动要求迫切需要减少能源和交通运输这两个污染最严重的部门的温室气体排放，提高分布式能源的容纳能力、交通电气化以及增加可再生燃料的生产。然而，此类技术的广泛采用正在改变能源生产、交易、分配和利用的方式，尽管这种转变是无与伦比的。伴随着严肃的技术为此，拟议的研究计划旨在通过针对能源部门在向低能耗发展过程中面临的关键问题和整合障碍制定及时和原创的解决方案来推进知识和工程实践。具体来说，与电力、天然气和运输系统的设计和运行实践相关的技术和经济方面将被整合到一个低碳和综合能源系统（IES）中，从而实现新的优化。将制定IES的设计模型。优化模型将用作决策支持工具箱，以评估和增强与采用 IES 相关的技术和经济方面，以便：(1) 促进可再生能源高渗透率的无缝集成，(2)为电力和天然气系统提供灵活的操作选项，(3) 通过提供可靠和可持续的加氢站，增加燃料电池电动汽车的采用，以与电池电动汽车竞争。此外，还将提供一个完全分布式的通信平台。旨在增强消息可靠性、互操作性和可扩展性该平台将利用物联网技术开发基于区块链的交互式能源系统和定价机制，以控制和管理工业能源系统中的分布式决策。将调查 IES 的安全性，并开发创新的分布式解决方案，以增强 IES 预防、响应和恢复网络威胁的能力。整个研究过程中产生的新知识和解决方案将开始应用于加拿大的 IES 利益相关者。处于这一新兴能源的前沿拟议的 IES 框架将提高电网的可靠性、弹性和安全性，并促进可再生能源发电和电动汽车的高普及率的无缝采用，这反过来又有助于确保更清洁、可持续和负担得起的能源输送。新的市场结构以及为加拿大客户提供更高的服务质量。
