A delegation of mayors of communes in Cameroon visited\u00a0Id\u00e9nergie on November 9, 2016. We discussed the challenges of electrification in Cameroon and the potential contribution of Idenergie to these communities. Pierre Blanchet, CEO, first carried out an initial assessment of the company’s activities, followed by a visit to Id\u00e9nergie’s\u00a0assembly workshop. The first machines were deployed in Alberta in the summer of 2016 and an installation including solar panels and a generator was installed at an off-grid site in Northern\u00a0Canada.<\/p>\n

Systems to reduce off-grid gasoline consumption<\/strong><\/p>\n

The problem with off-grid locations is that transportation costs are very expensive. “We will leave as little room as possible for\u00a0the generators in the design of our systems to save on money usually spent on fuel transportation,” Pierre Blanchet explained. A generator can be integrated into the systems and set to automatically start only during energy consumption peaks or low battery state of charge. Various combinations of renewable energy systems were presented to the delegation to this end.<\/p>\n

A river turbine: no civil works, no dam<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mayors then visited Id\u00e9nergie’s assembly workshop in Montreal. Gilles Trottier, head of the mechanical engineering department, presented the main assembly steps of the turbine.<\/p>\n

“Everything was\u00a0done\u00a0to make things simple”, he said. Even though the interior of the generator remains a little more complex, the assembly was designed to allow for a quick installation\u00a0in a river with only a few tools. The length of the blades can also be adjusted in order to get more power if needed. The hydro-turbine is taken into the river by means of a transportation device, and is then anchored\u00a0to a rock using a steel cable. A new stand has also recently been designed to improve stability.<\/p>\n

Last stop: the electric lab<\/strong><\/p>\n

Id\u00e9nergie strives to be at the forefront of power electronics technology, making the electrical lab is an unavoidable stop to get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe company’s latest research and development activities. Pierre Blanchet then outlined\u00a0his vision for Id\u00e9nergie’s development: adapting the technology of the river turbine to the field of smart solar\u00a0converters and “smart grids”, networks that use digital communications to detect and react to power fluctuations.<\/p>\n

This visit will be concluded by individual meetings to answer communities’ more specific questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
