Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Renewable Energy System Storage Inverter (HRES-SI) Advanced Development Stage
1028612
VPT has invented a new architecture for inverters, making them cheaper, more flexible and easier to use.
This project follows 4 previous, successful IRAP projects, where the design was prototyped, built out to proof of concept and initial pilot. In this project, VPT will develop out and test the features of the 1kW inverter, getting it to the point of pre-commercialization, and kick off development of the 10kW inverter.
The overall development plan takes the inverter up a range of sizes from 1kW to 1MW.

Renewable Energy System Storage Inverter (HRES-SI) Proof of Concept Phase 3
1019713
In the project, the Firm will be developing the next revision of the inverter (Rev 3.0) through programming, conducting ongoing safety analysis, and refining the hardware. This is being done in preparation for delivering a series of demos, tests, and pilots. Additionally, the team will be identifying and validating connecting products such as grid tie switches, batteries, and microinverters.

Home Renewable Energy System Storage Inverter (HRES-SI) Proof of Concept Phase 2
1010770
This project follows 2 previous, successful IRAP projects (959593 VPT HRES-SI Prototype Sprint 1, 959593 Proof of Concept). In the first project the original hardware was developed & the Inverter prototype was built. In the 2nd, the HRES-SI component went from a mechanically proven prototype to a working proof of concept.
In this project the architecture will be adapted to a standalone inverter product, complete the programming, continue safety analysis, and develop the inverter through a series of demos and tests and the resulting product revisions. The Firm will also identify and prove out integrating products like grid tie switches, batteries, microinverters, solar panels and the inverter case and cabling.

This project is a follow on from the previous, successful IRAP project (959593 VPT HRES-SI Prototype. In the first project VPT did the original development in order to build the first prototype of the Storage Inverter. In this project, VPT will take the HRES-SI component from a mechanically proven prototype to a working proof of concept and demo, with focus on the programming and safety and the resulting product revisions.
