Title:
Clean Power Variable Frequency Drive
Agreement Number:
1029622
Agreement Value:
$2,473,400.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 4, 2025 - Jan 31, 2027
Description:
SmartD Technologies (SmartD) specialises in next-generation motor control products based on the development of new electrical topologies and the use of wide-band transistors. The physical properties of these transistors, combined with SmartD's unique topologies developed in conjunction with researchers at the École de Technologie Supérieure (ETS), result in smaller, more efficient variable frequency drives that generate a better quality electrical signal.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:

The NRC-IRAP Clean Technology Program will support Canadian SMEs in the research and development of sustainable development technologies, up to their commercialization, with the potential to deliver economic and environmental outcomes.
