Contribution: Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security Program - Innovation Networks

TERRAGON ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES INC.

$1,500,000.00

Autonomous Resilient Community Systems (ARCS)

FY 2021-22 · 2021-09-23

Summary
The ARCS integrated solution has two components that are designed to utilize proximity resources for energy generation as well as an integrated suite of waste treatment and clean water production technologies. The energy component will be a renewable based system integrated with the power grid of the RTC. The energy system is sized to offset the power necessary for the waste and wastewater treatment systems as well as a portion of the camps’ fossil fuel consumption, achieving a 35 percent reduction in diesel use. Each system component is an integrated design with commercially available solar PV, wind, and energy storage technologies, coupled with generator efficiency enhancement technology.

Description (French)
La solution intégrée ARCS comporte deux composantes conçues pour utiliser les ressources de proximité pour la production d'énergie ainsi qu'une suite intégrée de technologies de traitement des déchets et de production d'eau propre. Le composant énergétique sera un système renouvelable intégré au réseau électrique du RTC. Le système énergétique est dimensionné pour compenser l'énergie nécessaire aux systèmes de traitement des déchets et des eaux usées ainsi qu'une partie de la consommation de combustibles fossiles des camps, ce qui permet de réduire de 35 % l'utilisation du diesel. Chaque composant du système est une conception intégrée avec des technologies solaires photovoltaïques, éoliennes et de stockage d'énergie disponibles dans le commerce, associées à une technologie d'amélioration de l'efficacité des générateurs.
Expected Results
The objective of this Project is to create a system that is powered by renewable energy. The project offers a circular approach that eliminates waste and wastewater and recover resources on site. It will help communities generate most of their primary resources they need locally, while protecting their environment. The integrated solution has two components that are designed to utilize proximity resources for energy generation as well as an integrated suite of waste treatment and clean water production technologies.
