Abstract
This innovation allowed a remote community of Bella Coola British Columbia to significantly benefit from a more reliable and efficient off grid power supply. The result is a considerable reduction in the use of diesel generators which consume fossil fuels and contribute to the carbon footprint of the community. In this particular innovation the application of sophisticated mathematical analysis to solve a real world problem and to provide measured results impressed the judges.The IET Innovation Awards celebrate the products, technologies and processes that lead the way in engineering innovation. Spanning 15 categories, the Awards are judged by engineering experts and recognise the depth and breadth of innovative work being carried out across all areas of engineering and technology.
