Clean Power Variable Frequency Drive$2.5Mvalue2025start2027end

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.

SmartD: Smart Digital Breaker and low-voltage Electrical Distribution$457Kvalue2018start2020end

SmartD is an integrated digital breaker that combines circuit protection, motor control, metering and IoT connectivity. This combination device reduces the space and labor requirements, while increasing safety and speed.

SiC-based High-Speed PMSM VFD$400Kvalue2023start2025end

The aim of this project is to implement high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor control loops in a Silicon Carbide-based high-speed variable frequency drive. This technology should result in “clean power drives” producing a true sine wave output to significantly reduce industrial electrical motor wear and to improve system efficiency.

600071397$300Kvalue2023start2025end

Commercialization strategy: The project aims to commercialize a solution for improving the efficiency of industrial electric motors.

Innovation Assistance Program$91.5Kvalue2020start2020end

The funding provided from the IAP program is to assist innovative, early-stage small- and medium-sized enterprises that are unable to access existing COVID-19 business support.
