A pair of researchers at 秀色短视频鈥檚 School of Sustainable Design Engineering have been awarded funding from to develop a detailed technical framework for PEI鈥檚 electrical system to increase renewable energy integration and decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. With $150,000 from Mitacs Accelerate and the PEI Energy Corporation, Dr. Matthew Hall and Dr. Andrew Swingler will hire three graduate students and begin building a 鈥渞oadmap鈥� towards making PEI鈥檚 energy system 100 per cent carbon free.

鈥淧rince Edward Island has a significant amount of renewable energy generation in the form of wind energy,鈥� said Dr. Hall, an assistant professor at 秀色短视频鈥檚 School of Sustainable Design Engineering (SSDE). 鈥淏ut we are also heavily dependent on less clean electricity coming across the Northumberland Strait from New Brunswick.鈥�

Moving toward a carbon-free system isn鈥檛 just about adding more wind and solar capacity, explains Dr. Hall. Further growth in renewable energy is constrained by intermittency of the power generation and storage costs.

鈥淎t the same time, we have new technologies coming online that will increase our power usage,鈥� said Dr. Swingler, an associate professor of sustainable energy systems at the SSDE. 鈥淓lectric vehicles and new heating technologies mean we鈥檒l be using more electricity, not less. And the idea is that ultimately all our electricity comes from carbon-free sources.鈥�

The team will work with the PEI Energy Corporation, which will provide essential data, knowledge of the market, and networks of industry expertise.

鈥淧rince Edward Island is a leader in wind energy and well positioned for leadership in emerging renewable energies,鈥� said Heather MacLeod, Energy Assets Manager at the PEI Energy Corporation. 鈥淲e are pleased to partner with the 秀色短视频鈥檚 School of Sustainable Design Engineering on this important research.鈥� 

The project will build a simulation-modelling tool for the PEI electrical system to explore a range of renewable energy integration solutions. It will assess the demand response and energy storage potential in PEI, and how they can be best leveraged. The team will also analyse the rising role of electrical vehicles in the PEI system, including impact on electricity load. The final goal is to lay out pathways toward 100 per cent  renewable electricity supply for the Island.

鈥淚t鈥檚 going to happen,鈥� said Dr. Swingler. 鈥淲e鈥檝e got our eyes on the prize. We鈥檙e looking towards a carbon-free energy system. 鈥�

秀色短视频 was made aware of a nationwide scam targeting newcomers after a 秀色短视频 student reached out to the 秀色短视频 Recruitment and Admissions office last week when he received a phone call from someone identifying himself as a member of the RCMP. The student was told that he was under investigation and owed money, and if he didn鈥檛 pay, would be deported.

It is important to note that the RCMP or IRB will never ask for money.

As reported by several media outlets in 2017, the IRB is working with law enforcement agencies to identify the perpetrators and bring an end to this scam. In the meantime, 秀色短视频 is warning members of the campus community to limit the impacts of this fraud.

If anyone receives a call or email of this nature, do not comply with any of the demands and instead contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501. The advises people that they have the right to check a caller or message sender by requesting written information, a call-back number, references, and time to think. It also warns people never to trust caller ID displays or provide confidential personal information, especially banking or credit card details, over the phone or by email.

If you believe that you have fallen victim to fraud, you can contact 秀色短视频 Security Services at (902) 566-0384 or your local police agency.  Students can also contact 秀色短视频 Student Affairs at studentserv@upei.ca or (902) 566-0488 for further support.

The 秀色短视频 Wind Symphony will perform its final recital of the academic year on Saturday, March 24, at 7:30 pm at Park Royal United Church in Charlottetown. This has been a particularly busy and musically rewarding year for the Wind Symphony with highly successful performances throughout the fall and winter.

This recital will feature contemporary works for the modern wind band, with several emerging masterworks of the genre. The program will open with Pansori's Rhapsody, a virtuosic work by Korean composer Chang Su Koh. This work is imbued with Korean culture and, through Su Koh's masterful orchestration, creates innovative colours and effects. effervescent widgets, this recital's title work, is among the most rhythmically complex scores that the Wind Symphony has ever performed. Here, American Richard Drehoff Jr., creates, in musical terms, a narrative of a widget's journey through the modern manufacturing mechanism. To accomplish this, Drehoff Jr. uses repetitive ostinato passages which layer upon themselves to the point of collapse.

Percy Grainger, an Austrailian by birth but an American by choice, wrote his Children's March: Over The Hills and Far Away around 1919. Based on an original Grainger melody, it is a light, carefree work the utilizes the full symphonic resources and colour of the modern wind band. Grainger was among the first to use piano and mallet percussion as part of his works for wind band. Another featured work by an American composer is Julie Giroux's One Life Beautiful. It is an introspective work with some of the most lyrical lines. Additional works by Dimitri Shostakovich and Warren Benson will be performed.

This recital will be the final Wind Symphony performance for eleven of its graduating students 鈥� among the largest in the history of this ensemble. All have made significant contributions to 秀色短视频, and the Wind Symphony in particular, throughout their undergraduate careers.
