FocusAs Alberta advances toward a resilient and sustainable energy future, the province faces increasing complexity across its power system. Building a robust power grid therefore has become a central objective, driven by emerging technical challenges as well as new opportunities enabled by rapid technological development. In particular, growing renewable and clean fuel integration is accelerating the transition to cleaner energy while also increasing variability and the need for greater operational flexibility. AI further introduces both substantial electricity demand from large data centers and powerful tools for improving forecasting, stability, and system optimization. In addition, advances in nuclear technologies such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), presents a potential pathway to firm, low-carbon baseload generation that can enhance long-term system reliability. By bringing together diverse perspectives, this workshop aims to foster informed discussion on pathways toward a robust, resilient, and future-ready energy system for <a href="http://Alberta.PanelistsThis" target="_blank" title="Alberta.PanelistsThis">Alberta.PanelistsThis workshop will bring together experts from the HATCH, City of Edmonton, Alberta Innovates, and the University of <a href="http://Texas.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="Texas.Co-sponsored">Texas.Co-sponsored by: RESILIENT & CLEAN ENERGY SYSTEMS (RCES)Speaker(s): Jeanie Chin, Patrick Baltazart , Wei-Jen Lee, Robert (Rob) BakerRoom: 8-207, Bldg: Donadeo Innovation Centre for Engineering (DICE), 9211 116 St NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 1H9

Abstract:The quest for sustainable development dictates an urgent transition from fossil fuels to renewables. This presentation focuses on next generation (solar) energy technologies from a materials perspective. We study structure property/relationships in advanced materials, emphasizing multifunctional systems that exhibit several functionalities. Such systems are then used as building blocks for the fabrication of various emerging technologies. In particular, nanostructured materials synthesized via the bottom–up approach present an opportunity for future generation low cost and low energy intensive manufacturing of devices. We focus on recent developments in solar technologies, including third generation photovoltaics, solar hydrogen production, luminescent solar concentrators and other optoelectronic devices, highlighting the role and importance of critical raw materials.
