Thecurrent challenges. nmultidisciplinary team combines its knowledge of the system to create intelligent models of the turbine generator system. Test data is widely With Simcenter SCADAS used to validate assumptions on the complex models. Although thisMobile and Simcenter innovative approach is still being consolidated, it already yields astonishing results: a power increase inSCADAS XS, I am confident some generators of 15 to 20 percent. Focusing on customer serviceI will obtain high-quality, Hydro-Qubec activities are not solely focused on power generation. Thewell-conditioned data that company also offers energy transmission and distribution to homes.I will be able to further Hydro-Qubecs mission is to deliver a safe, reliable power supply and offer outstanding customer service. IREQsanalyze in the lab.researchers also support this objective with their projects. Franois Lafleur Electromagnetic repulsion effectsResearcher coming from electric wires can be theHydro-Qubecsource of annoying noise and vibrations. Hydro-Qubec seeks to reduce these effects inside homes and around distribution grids in the vicinity of settlements in order to improve the comfort of electricity users. Whenever a disturbance is reported, members of the IREQ team will come to the site to measure and characterize noise levels, using, for example, the compact and portable Simcenter SCADAS XS. They will analyze the situation and apply appropriate countermeasures, such as modifying the wire configuration or installing a noise-damping device in order to reduce noise levels and increase consumers satisfaction with the energy delivery services. Versatile tools for a multitasking team Being involved in such diverse projects, it is no wonder that Lafleur appreciates the versatility of the Simcenter testing 41'
