Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01039, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Leong, Wey Herng (Ryerson University), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Enwave Toronto operates the world renowned Deep Lake Water Cooling (DLWC) system which provides a_x000D_
highly efficient and low-carbon means of air-conditioning for connected commercial buildings in the city's_x000D_
downtown core. Because the DLWC technology is renewable and uses 75% to 83% less electrical energy than_x000D_
conventional electric chillers, it would be beneficial, in terms of economy and low-carbon means, to utilize and_x000D_
extend the technology further. Therefore, Enwave Toronto is actively perusing alternate technologies such as_x000D_
ground thermal energy storage (GTES) to further de-carbonize the district. Enwave Toronto is interested in_x000D_
exploring the feasibility of combining high-efficient refrigeration system, DLWC and GTES to provide_x000D_
increased cooling capacity during peak cooling in the summer, as well as in exploring the feasibility of_x000D_
combining high-efficient heat pump system, data-centre waste heat from their commercial customers and_x000D_
GTES to provide increased heating capacity during peak heating in the winter, on a diurnal basis._x000D_
If the combinations are feasible through the computer simulations, a parametric study will then be performed_x000D_
for ranges of relevant parameters in order to establish guidelines for the design of an optimized GTES for_x000D_
short-term or diurnal cold and hot thermal energy storages. The study would require advanced computational_x000D_
facility, subject expertise, and sophisticated computational programs, and this collaboration is intended in that_x000D_
direction. This project is part of the company's commitment to sustainable technologies and the development of_x000D_
future low-carbon district heating and cooling system._x000D_
This six-month research headed by Dr. Wey Leong of Ryerson University will foster a collaboration between_x000D_
Ryerson and Enwave, which would be beneficial to Enwave business in Toronto, and will help to build a_x000D_
