Researchers at the University of Waterloo have come up with a bold vision to transform energy delivery in Canada: smart energy networks (SENs) that connect electricity grids, natural gas pipelines, renewable energy resources and district heating networks into a single, integrated system.
The 152-page report was released yesterday at www.wise.uwaterloo.ca/sen, along with summaries and a series of infographics. It lays out definitions, conceptual models, technical considerations, and recommendations for moving forward.
The SEN research was funded by $10,000 grant from Union Gas and involved researchers from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Engineering and Department of Environment and Resource Studies.
