Aegis Critical Energy Defence Corp., based in Vancouver, British Columbia, has entered into a multi-year research collaboration with Ontario Tech University. This partnership is supported by a financial investment of $480,000 through the Mitacs Accelerate program, which aims to foster collaboration between industry and academic institutions for innovative research projects.
The main objective of this collaboration is to develop, test, and implement a digital-twin-enabled control platform that is specifically designed to enhance the safe, secure, and resilient operation of small and micro modular reactor (SMR/MMR) hybrid energy systems. These systems are considered important advancements in the field of nuclear energy and are anticipated to play a role in the future of energy generation.
This partnership is noteworthy as it highlights ongoing initiatives in Canada to innovate within the energy sector, particularly focusing on nuclear and hybrid energy solutions. The research conducted through this collaboration could have implications not only for marine applications but also for broader energy strategies across the country. As Canada moves towards a more sustainable energy future, such collaborations may become increasingly significant.
