Here comes the sun: Novel solar technology helps track sun’s movement

on January 11, 2012

Solar farms are sprouting up across the country at an exponential pace and this push for harvesting greener energy has prompted a Western Engineering researcher to figure out a way capitalize on daylight hours.

As the sun rotates throughout the day, fixed solar panels are not in a position to receive the maximum amount of sunlight.

As a solution, Kamran Siddiqui, associate professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, along with his graduate student Hassan Hassan, has developed a smart solar tracker and a load compensator for solar collectors. These two novel technologies can be used in a variety of solar energy applications, such as photovoltaic (PV) panels, parabolic dishes, parabolic troughs and solar water heaters.

Safety In The Skies

on September 1, 2011

Suzanne Kearns flew an airplane before she drove a car.

Growing up next to an airport in Wiarton, Ont., she was enthralled by aviation. At 15, she flew for the first time. On her 16^th birthday — the first day it was legal — she flew solo. When she was 17, she was licensed to fly airplanes and helicopters.

Today, she channels that enthusiasm and knowledge into her research at The University of Western Ontario’s Commercial Aviation Management program where she is an assistant professor.

From farm fields to lumber mills, a portable plant from Agri-Therm Inc. is ready to eat up the waste and spit out the oil

Jennifer MacDonald faced down the business moguls on CBC TV’s Dragons’ Den in 2006 and snagged a $200,000 investment for her Cenabal Gourmet Organics salad dressing in five minutes flat.

But securing $3 million in venture capital to build out a commercial green energy prototype is proving to be a much tougher proposition. “We are looking for money to accelerate the project,” says MacDonald, now the chief operating officer of Agri-Therm Inc., a company dedicated to developing, manufacturing and marketing portable equipment that produces bio-oils from agricultural waste. “And we really want to keep the investment in the company Canadian—and preferably from Ontario.”
