When the schedule is the client’s top priority
Insights
-
In some projects, the main challenge isn’t technical complexity. It’s the schedule. When schedules become critical, engineering teams need to shift their mindset: make decisions earlier, accept uncertainty and rely on shared performance. As such, engineering becomes a process of making choices, striking compromises and managing risks, both technical and human. Below are three key questions addressed by Hugo Careau, P.Eng., Decarbonization, and Ulric Chayer, P.Eng., Department Manager, Mechanical Engineering.

04 Sep 2019Power and RenewablesOff-grid power systems in remote areas generate most of their electricity from fossil fuels. However, these fuels are expensive and have a very negative impact on the environment. Integrating renewable energy sources, like solar and wind power, is an environmentally-friendly solution to the energy needs of remote communities and industrial sites. Ideally, the required power should be generated from renewable energy sources. However, integrating a large amount of renewable energy can pose a few challenges to power systems operation.The challenges of integrating renewable energy sources into off-grid power systems

19 Apr 2019Power and RenewablesElectrical corona discharges occur when the voltage applied to an insulated conductor is high enough to create current leakage, but not enough to cause a complete insulation breakdown (at least not yet). Still, corona discharges generate ozone, nitric oxide and acid gases, which are corrosive and can further deteriorate the insulation, up to complete failure. In some cases, corona discharges can represent significant power loss.Corona: a problem you should not ignore
