SHEC LABS - Solar Hydrogen Energy Corp teams up with the
University of Victoria for Large Scale Solar
Concentrator
SHEC LABS - Solar Hydrogen Energy Corporation is participating in the
University of Victoria's Sustainable Energy Systems Design (SESD)
Senior Projects. "Our goal with this, and other initiatives, is to
train highly qualified design engineers with the expertise to
contribute to the reformation of the energy industry into a sustainable
entity. Establishing ties with SHEC is definitely a step in the right
direction" said Jason Bazylak, B. Eng., a design engineer with the
faculty of Engineering and Office of the NSERC (Natural Science and
Engineering Research Council of Canada) Chair in Sustainable Energy
Systems Design Engineering with the University of Victoria.
The Project title is:
Super Structure Design of a Solar Collection Array for Hydrogen
Production
THE COMPANY
Saskatoon-based SHEC (Solar Hydrogen Energy Corporation) has been a
world leader in clean renewable hydrogen research, and is about to
become one of the world leaders in hydrogen production with its
innovative use of the sun's energy to create hydrogen from landfill
gas. SHEC has constructed and demonstrated a system to produce hydrogen
using methane that is powered primarily by sunlight-focusing
mirrors.
The system comprises a solar mirror array, an advanced solar
concentrator, a shutter system to control the amount of radiant energy
entering the reactor, and two thermo-catalytic reactors that will
convert methane, carbon dioxide and water into hydrogen. The New Energy
Congress has ranked this technology as one of the top best renewable
energy technologies in the world. More information on SHEC can be found
online at www.shec-labs.com.
THE PROJECT
Having demonstrated its technology, SHEC is now looking to increase its
efficiency and thereby lower collection cost. One method by which they
intend to do this is through the design of a next generation super
structure. The design team will be tasked with the analysis and
modeling of the existing super structure, conceptualizing of new, more
efficient super structure designs, modeling those designs and building
and analyzing a scaled down proof-of-concept for one of the resultant
super structures.
UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA DESIGN TEAM - SHEC PROJECT
REQUIREMENTS
This is a challenging project which will give an exceptional design
team the chance to see immediate, real world application of their
design work. A strong mechanical engineering background is desirable
since the project will be mechanical intensive. Additionally, as the
client is located in Saskatchewan the design team must be comfortable
with remote client interaction and be very self-driven. The ideal
design team member will not only have the technical skills, but also
the passion and drive to assist in ushering in of the hydrogen economy
through clean solar technologies.
The SHEC LABS project details can be seen on the University of Victoria
web site at: http://design.engr.uvic.ca/student-projects/projects/solar-hydrogen-energy-corporation-shec-labs.
"This partnership is a timely win-win scenario for SHEC and the
University of Victoria as SHEC is nearing the deployment stage of its
technology. This is SHEC's second publicly disclosed university
association. SHEC also has a partnership with the University of
Toronto, Department of Chemical Engineering" said Tom Beck, President
and CEO of SHEC LABS.
About SHEC LABS - (Solar Hydrogen Energy
Corporation)
SHEC LABS, a research and development company now embarking on
commercialization, is a world leader in providing solutions for the
production of clean, renewable energy for the emerging hydrogen
economy. SHEC LABS, founded in 1996, has developed technologies to more
economically harness the power of the sun, reduce the temperatures
required for the disassociation of water, more economically produce
hydrogen from fossil fuels and produce hydrogen from biomass
sources.
