Canada’s Department of National Defence (DND) recently awarded a $2-million prize to the Circular City consortium— the winner of DND's Pop-up City contest.
SRC's Integrated Energy Systems team collaborated with Innocorps Research Corp. and a consortium of tech companies to develop the world’s first demonstration, rapidly deployable microgrid capable of recycling wastewater to purified potable water for the Canadian Armed Forces.
For the project, SRC provided its Hybrid Energy Container to power the microgrid with lithium-iron phosphate batteries, inverters and solar arrays, along with a novel, highly-efficient heating and cooling system that can operate in harsh environments.
