Hydropower in Canada- Past, present, and future! Imagine a world where 60% of the power demands are met by renewable energy sources. Wonder not, because it is a reality in Canada where hydropower is the star. Over a century ago, Canada took its first strides toward becoming a global leader in sustainable hydropower. As time […]

The importance of arc flash studies in Canada’s robust manufacturing and energy sectors cannot be overstated. Why?  Because it evaluates the risks associated with any electrical system. It is a core element to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment in a facility. Traditionally, it involves significant manpower, time, and resources. Enter Carelabs, a pioneer […]

Introduction Canada has one of the world’s most robust workplace electrical safety regulations. The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) summarizes employers’ and supervisors’ rights and duties. Short circuit analysis identifies potential fault sections and their consequences in complex electrical systems. This helps develop a proper protection strategy and thus contributes to workplace electrical safety. Let […]

Introduction As Canada takes big strides to reduce its carbon footprint by adopting more renewable energy sources, building a strong and adaptive grid has become a top priority. Whether extreme weather or cyberattacks, the grid must bounce back without service disruptions. A resilient grid facilitates a seamless shift towards sustainable and cleaner electrical power. Nonetheless, […]

Introduction Microgrids are the stimulus to electrical sustainability. They are localized power grids that either operate independently or are connected to the main grid. Some examples like solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, etc are not novelties to us. However, microgrids are complex and have unique operating conditions. To protect them from faults, and ensure safe […]
