SmartD Clean Power VFD Drive Technology

November 5, 2024

SmartD Technologies has engineered the Clean Power variable frequency drive combining features that are normally found separately in multiple different products. They do this all while keeping product cost lower and product volume much smaller than a conventional drive.

SmartD Technologies Inc. produces advanced motor control products based on 3 core technologies that complement each other to bring the best Return On Investment:

  • Wide-Band Gap Transistors
  • Multi-Level Inverters
  • Modulation & Control Algorithms

SmartD Clean Power VFD Drive Technology

“We kind of did what I tell every startup founder not to do. When I coach startup founders, I always tell them to start with a problem and then find a solution to it. We started with a technology: wide-band gap semiconductors, specifically Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC). These are revolutionary semiconductors for power electronics; they can switch much faster with much lower losses [than conventional materials]. And as my co-founders and I were looking at different opportunities, we really felt that we were at an inflection point for these semiconductor materials, so we started looking for applications for them.”

Simon Leblond, CEO of SmartD Technologies Inc
