\/><strong>Description:\u00a0<\/strong>The site is located on the Beatty Saugeen River just south of the town of Orchardville, Ontario. The weir was originally build to serve a mill on the site. The weir and mill were rebuilt in 1998. The 42\u2033 Barber Turbine (Francis type) was re-furbished at that time. It is not the original turbine but it was installed approximately 60 years ago (as of 2016) replacing an earlier less efficient turbine. The goals are to produce renewable energy once again by connecting the system to the power grid via a FIT (Feed in Tariff) contract.<\/p><h2>Overview<\/h2><p><strong>Maximum Output:<\/strong>\u00a035 kW<br \/><strong>Generator Type:<\/strong>\u00a0Induction Generator<br \/><strong>Connection Type:<\/strong>\u00a03 phase, 60 hz<br \/><strong>Screw Design Type:<\/strong>\u00a0This is not an Archimedes screw installation.

Their creations reduce greenhouse gas emissions while making it safe for fish to pass through. In fact, a GreenBug Energy hydropower project on Big Creek in Delhi is expected to produce enough electricity to power 38 homes.<\/p><p>For their efforts, GreenBug is one of 10 provincial projects and businesses to receive the 2015 Minister\u2019s Award for Environmental Excellence.<\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s great to be acknowledged by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change,\u201d said GreenBug CEO Tony Bouk. \u201cFor us, that\u2019s a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4c1d2bd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4c1d2bd\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cce3352\" data-id=\"cce3352\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5e454f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b5e454f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 2014, the Ontario Power Authority offered the GreenBug crew a 40-year contract to supply renewable electricity to the provincial grid. Typically the company deals with farm projects as well as municipalities and conservation authority groups. GreenBug was behind a seven-kilowatt installation on Nanticoke Creek at Fletcher\u2019s Horse World in Townsend Centre in 2013. It was the first generator of its kind in North America.<\/p><p>Bouk said he thinks the provincial government wanted to recognize work being done at the grassroots level.<\/p><p>\u201cI hope it has something to do with the fact we\u2019re trying to do something local,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take local actions on behalf of everybody and I hope that\u2019s what stuck out. In the past \u2013 probably as a society in general \u2013 we\u2019ve sort of wanted to separate ourselves from things we don\u2019t like and we have to start taking a little more responsibility locally and realize we can\u2019t always export problems to somebody else.\u201d<\/p><p>Working as an Eco-friendly business wasn\u2019t necessarily the norm when GreenBug was created five years ago, but it certainly is headed that way now, especially given Ontario\u2019s rising electricity costs.<\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be normal business anymore and you\u2019re going to see that with the (provincial government\u2019s) Cap and Trade program coming out too. Before where people were using public goods at no cost, now there\u2019s going to be a cost associated with it,\u201d Bouk explained.<\/p><p>\u201cEven if you weren\u2019t looking at it in terms of an ideology type of perspective, it\u2019s just going to be business.\u201d<\/p><p>Bouk said GreenBug business though steady is often slowed by the democratic process of arranging deals, submitting tenders, creating proposals etc. but the green energy movement will certainly carry on in one form or another.<\/p><p>\u201cYou\u2019re trying to get people to adopt something new that they haven\u2019t seen before and that\u2019s always a bit of a challenge,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>\u201cI hope things do continue \u2013 I know renewable energy will continue in some way, I\u2019m sure that\u2019s here to stay.

helping to turn small dams around Ontario into mini powerhouses pumping out renewable energy, particularly for rural users.<\/p><p>Engineering professors Dave Lubitz, Bahram Gharabaghi and Graham Taylor are working with GreenBug Energy Inc. based in Delhi, Ont., to generate cost-effective green electricity from these dams.<\/p><p>With promising results from one site already, Lubitz says the team plans to look at \u201cmicro hydro power\u201d drawn from more of the numerous streams and rivers across the province and even the United States.<\/p><p>They\u2019re looking at thousands of small dams \u2014 with a \u201chead\u201d or water drop of only about two to six metres \u2014 scattered across Ontario. The Grand River watershed alone contains some 800 dams, including many candidates for micro hydro power.<\/p><p>Micro hydro power is measured in tens or hundreds of kilowatts, compared to the millions of kilowatts produced in Niagara Falls-sized power plants.<\/p><p>The Guelph team is adapting a technology developed by ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes. The Archimedes screw is based on moving water along the spiral threads of a large turning screw, a concept used for millennia for pumping irrigation water, says Lubitz.<\/p><p>Water flowing over a dam enters a channel containing a screw. The weight of the falling water turns the screw, and the resulting mechanical energy is converted to electricity.<\/p><p>The technology can even help fish move between water bodies, says Gharabaghi. \u201cIt\u2019s a way to produce electricity but in an environmentally friendly way.\u201d<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed alignright wp-image-8421 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/greenbugenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dams-1-450x253.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenbugenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dams-1-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/greenbugenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dams-1-450x253-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>GreenBug connected with U of G\u2019s Catalyst Centre (formerly the Business Development Office) through Innovation Guelph downtown. By 2011, the company had already developed a working prototype, but it faced many questions in scaling up the concept to a full installation.<\/p><p>What Lubitz thought would be \u201ca fun little project\u201d has become a research-intensive undertaking involving mechanics, physics of water flow and optimization.<\/p><p>Despite the concept\u2019s longevity, and its use today in a number of European countries, little is known about building the best Archimedes screw. How does the water move along the threads? How much potential energy is lost to water movement? How big to make the screw? How much power is generated?<\/p><p>GreenBug\u2019s first working site \u2014 and the first such site in the Western Hemisphere, according to CEO Tony Bouk \u2014 is located on a Waterford, Ont., horse farm and generates enough power to help run part of a barn.<\/p><p>Using field data from that installation, and numerous lab size screws that were run in a test rig on campus, Lubitz and his team have built models to explain and predict power from any screw.<\/p><p>His investigations have led to more unknowns. How to make best use of this technology on small rivers whose flow varies by season and even day to day?<\/p><p>In Guelph\u2019s School of Engineering, Gharabaghi had already developed a tool for assessing stream flow rates, working with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. By plugging in data about a particular watercourse, users can design the right turbine for a particular location, he says. That\u2019s also useful information for obtaining necessary provincial permits to refit existing dams to generate electricity.<\/p><p>That\u2019s all appealing to GreenBug, which looks to reduce engineering and permitting costs that can mount into hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single installation. The U of G team hopes to help streamline that process and save as much as 40 per cent of those soft costs of development.<\/p><p>Small-scale dams equipped with Archimedes turbines might enable users in rural Ontario to generate power for one to several hundred households, says Gharabaghi.<\/p><p>Looking to match designs for particular sites, Lubitz encountered other complications beyond stream flow rates. It started to look like the kind of computational problem that Taylor confronts in studying neural networks and machine learning.<\/p><p>\u201cYou want to build a customized screw, but there are so many options,\u201d says Taylor. \u201cThis was similar to the problem we face optimizing neural networks.\u201d<\/p><p>All three Guelph engineers are now working with GreenBug. The company, which won the 2015 3M Environmental Innovation Award, expects to install screws in Delhi and at a former mill in Rhode Island this year, and is considering another 10 sites around Ontario.<\/p><p>First Published: Wednesday, March 30, 2016 \u2014 Feature by Andrew Vowles at <a href=\"http:\/\/news.uoguelph.ca\/2016\/03\/engineeers-turn-small-dams-into-renewable-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/news.uoguelph.ca\/2016\/03\/engineeers-turn-small-dams-into-renewable-energy\/<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of Guelph engineers are helping to turn small dams into cost-effective renewable energy sources Researchers at U of G are helping to turn small dams around Ontario into mini powerhouses pumping out renewable energy, particularly for rural users.

Founded in Delhi, Ont., in 2011 by entrepreneurs Tony Bouk and Brian Weber, GreenBug is vying to create an entirely new segment in the North American micro hydropower market.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed alignright wp-image-8615 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/greenbugenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greenbug_energy-canadian-geographic2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenbugenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greenbug_energy-canadian-geographic2.png 550w, https:\/\/greenbugenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greenbug_energy-canadian-geographic2-400x221.png 400w, https:\/\/greenbugenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greenbug_energy-canadian-geographic2-300x166.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>To do it, GreenBug is combining advanced engineering and design and a 3,000-year-old pumping technology, the Archimedes screw, to make electricity. The learning curve has been steep, and the regulatory process complicated. But with the company\u2019s first larger-output, fully commercialized micro hydropower systems poised for final approval and installation this summer \u2014 in hometown Delhi and the state of Rhode Island \u2014 2016 could be a breakout year. Says Bouk: \u201cWe\u2019re hoping it scales from here.\u201d<\/p><p>GreenBug\u2019s story starts with an untapped old resource: thousands of low dams across Canada and the United States built in the past centuries to control water or to power mills. Many of these structures are still standing \u2014 in towns, on farms, on both public and private property \u2014 and deliver enough water to drive turbines to make electricity.<\/p><p>\u201cThere\u2019s water flowing over those dams 24 hours a day that\u2019s not being used,\u201d says Dave Lubitz, an engineering professor and renewable energy specialist at Ontario\u2019s Guelph University. Through the school\u2019s business development office, Lubitz is also a GreenBug research partner and adviser. \u201cIt\u2019s low-hanging fruit for generating renewable power.\u201d<\/p><p>Before GreenBug, however, there wasn\u2019t any economical, environmentally sound technology to tap it. While micro hydro and run-of-river power generating ventures have been on the rise overall, these smaller dams \u2014 typically one- to five-metres high, with potential power output up to 300 kilowatts \u2014 have seen relatively little action. Instead, most equipment and project design has been aimed at sites with greater heights, or heads, of water, and larger power output.<\/p><p>That bias was evident when Bouk and Weber, already partners in a manufacturing business, first looked into smaller dams in 2010. A year earlier, Ontario had introduced the Green Energy Act, which enabled and encouraged renewable power development for private use or sale to the grid. Bouk was keen to leverage the program to start a small-scale, clean-power venture to \u201cdo something\u201d to fight climate change. But equipment makers they spoke to said if a site\u2019s potential was less than 500 kilowatts, \u201cdon\u2019t even bother.\u201d Bouk and Weber weren\u2019t convinced. \u201cThere\u2019s one of those small dams in just about every town,\u201d Bouk says. \u201cWe thought that was interesting.\u201d<\/p><p>Research led them to Europe, where they found a small number of micro-hydro developers using the Archimedes screw to generate electricity. Installed next to a dam, the screw turns under the weight of water directed over it. That action turns a gearbox, which turns a generator, which produces power. The clinchers: Archimedes screw generators are non-polluting, fish friendly and optimally suited for low-head sites.<\/p><p>\u201cFirst we thought we might source the equipment out of Europe, but at North American power rates, it was way too expensive,\u201d says Bouk.<\/p><p>That might have been the end. Instead, for Bouk, a seasoned executive with an MBA from the Ivey Business School at Western University in London, Ont., and Weber, with a background as a tool and die maker, it just meant more variables to consider. \u201cWe knew what went into it and we decided we could do it here ourselves,\u201d says Bouk. \u201cWe started saying, \u2018Look, I think we can do that and make it make sense.\u2019 \u201d<\/p><p>If making it make sense means building a profitable business, GreenBug still has a long way to go. But based on Bouk and Weber\u2019s achievements to date \u2014 developing GreenBug part-time while supporting themselves through a separate, pre-existing company \u2014 neither does it seem far-fetched. From screw design and manufacturing to construction and operation, GreenBug\u2019s now a vertically integrated operation with hard-won expertise; it\u2019s got a long-term research contract with one university from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, an annual research and development budget of $200,000 to $300,000, installation contracts with at least a half-dozen clients awaiting regulatory approval, and last year it won the 3M Environmental Innovation Award, for creative solutions that protect, restore or preserve the environment.<\/p><p>And the backyard dam? That was at the start, at Weber\u2019s place in Delhi. As soon as the pair decided to try making their own Archimedes screw generators, it became their first test site. Bouk, who says he\u2019s \u201cnot too bad at math,\u201d began working on a model in Excel using the site specifications to help them design the steel screw\u2019s length, width, thread size and installation position, and predict what electrical output to expect. \u201cThen being manufacturers, we manufactured a screw,\u201d says Bouk. \u201cA small one \u2014 probably a couple of feet in diameter, eight- or 10-feet long.\u201d<\/p><p>They added a frame, connected it to an electric motor, installed it and \u201cit turned out the thing produced within about five watts of what we thought it would.\u201d<\/p><p>This proof of concept meant they had a potential business worth pursuing. But Bouk also knew his modelling work had just begun. \u201cOne of the things I realized right away is there are a ton of variables,\u201d he says. \u201cWater isn\u2019t like solar, where you can put down panels anywhere and know all the parameters. Every site is unique. They all have different flows and heads and they vary through time. You need to take that data and somehow decide what kind of screw you\u2019re going to put in, what\u2019s going to produce the most power.\u201d<\/p><p>Bouk\u2019s model has been extensively refined since, so that given those parameters, it easily determines not just the optimal screw, but also a \u201csystem that will maximize internal rate of return.\u201d Even early on, however, he and Weber knew enough about the screw generator\u2019s performance to start talking to potential clients. Within a year, they signed a deal for their first small-scale grid installation, at Fletcher\u2019s Horse World, a farm and event centre in the nearby town of Waterford. The screw, 1.7-metres wide and five-metres long, with a modest maximum output of 7.2 kilowatts was installed at an old dam on a residence driveway. The centre uses the power onsite, offsetting its previously high electricity bill through Ontario\u2019s \u201cnet metering\u201d program.<\/p><p>Bouk says owner John Fletcher was an easy sell. \u201cWe literally just drove in to his driveway, cold call,\u201d says Bouk. \u201cRight off the bat he said, \u2018Let\u2019s do it.\u2019 \u201d<\/p><p>It sounds auspicious, but it wasn\u2019t. In the three years since, despite increasing research, market development and community outreach, and actual deals made with individuals, municipalities and conservation authorities around the province, GreenBug has but one grid-connected Archimedes screw generator installation.<\/p><p>The problem isn\u2019t the technology or project economics, assures Bouk. \u201cThey can make money,\u201d he says. Instead, it\u2019s the slow, multi-stage provincial Feed-In-Tariff contract and environmental assessment approvals process under the Green Energy Act, which is required in order to sell power back to the grid.<\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s challenging,\u201d says Bouk. \u201cIt takes years, literally, to get a project through.\u201d We\u2019re trying to whittle that down because our sites are small, and we\u2019re trying to standardize the process.\u201d<\/p><p>It\u2019s not just Bouk and Weber who are chomping at the bit. In southwestern Ontario\u2019s Norfolk County, councillor Jim Oliver first heard about GreenBug\u2019s technology in 2011, after the Fletcher farm installation. Soon, he was backing a deal with GreenBug to install a 53-kilowatt screw generator with a 1.9-metre head at Delhi\u2019s Quance Mill dam, on Big Creek, in historic, County-owned Quance Mill Park. It\u2019s one of the two installations GreenBug\u2019s hoping to do this summer, and Oliver\u2019s ready to see it happen.<\/p><p>\u201cThey have been going through the final stages of the environmental assessment and to the best of my knowledge that has pretty much been concluded,\u201d says Oliver. \u201cWe\u2019re all anxious for this one to start shovels in the ground.\u201d<\/p><p>Every GreenBug screw generator project is a self-contained, separate partnership with the site owner. In this case, Norfolk County kicked in a small amount of money, plus the site, while GreenBug\u2019s putting up a significant part of the capital. For that, the company will get most of the returns from the electricity sold to the grid under the project\u2019s Feed-In-Tariff contract. The county, meanwhile, gets to showcase its leadership on renewable energy and support a local business. Says Oliver: \u201cI think we all bought into the potential that their technology and their particular service could achieve if it catches on.\u201d<\/p><p>GreenBug\u2019s other pending project, awaiting final approval in Rhode Island under that state\u2019s renewable energy program, will be its largest to date. It\u2019s a double-screw project with an expected maximum output of 360 kilowatts. And even though it\u2019s called micro hydro, Bouk says it will take four or five semi loads to ship all the pieces from Delhi. Each screw \u2014 13 metres long, 2.8 metres wide and weighing 20 tonnes \u2014 requires its own truck.<\/p><p>Assuming they\u2019re approved, completing both of these projects in 2016 will keep Bouk and Weber busy. But to build further in 2017, GreenBug needs to win some Feed-In-Tariff contract approvals. Its next chance comes when the province announces results of the latest round of applications in the second quarter of 2016.<\/p><p>Two installations this summer will be a good start, he says, \u201cbut I\u2019m hoping we put in more than that next year.\u201d<\/p><p>Bouk is wary of false hopes, just as he\u2019s realistic about GreenBug\u2019s long-term obstacles and business risks. But he\u2019s also very clear where he stands. \u201cRenewable energy is something that\u2019s going to be around,\u201d he says. \u201cWe are on the right side of the curve.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Article Author:\u00a0<\/strong>Brian Banks<br \/><strong>Article Title:<\/strong>\u00a0GreenBug Energy: Creating renewable energy from old technology.

net metering, even though everyone seems to understand what being \u201coff grid\u201d means.<\/p><p>Some people think they have to go off grid to switch to renewables. Some people want to go off grid just so they can have the satisfaction of sticking it to the man, which in this case is the hydro company. These people are just sick of the hydro company and are willing to do almost anything to get rid of their connection with them.<\/p><p>However, there is no real practical reason for being off-grid unless it would financially cost a huge amount to connect power to your house. You can become energy neutral by net metering and produce energy so that you production equals your usage on average. Net metering makes sense because batteries are expensive to have and operate in an off grid system and if you\u2019re able to grid tie your renewable energy system you can think of and use the grid as your \u201cgrid-tied battery\u201d. The grid will be there to supply any excess power you need when you need it above what you\u2019re renewable energy system can produce, and when your system produces more than you can use, the grid takes it and lets others use the power and gives you credit for it just like your putting those kwh\u2019s in the bank so you can draw them down later when you\u2019re using more power than you\u2019re producing. And for this \u201cgrid tied battery\u201d service you pay your monthly service fee to the utility (all the charges that aren\u2019t kwh usage based). So you can think of your monthly connection service fees as an alternative to the cost of having your own batteries.<\/p><p>So you don\u2019t want to go off grid, you really want to be energy neutral, and you can do that by still being connected to the grid and net metering.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We still

for environmentally friendly power generation, with the potential to turn thousands of small dams that have been ignored for decades into revenue-generating assets.<\/p><hr \/><p>They say money makes the world go round.<\/p><p>Entrepreneur Tony Bouk thinks it can also help save the planet. And he\u2019s putting that theory to the test with his newest venture, GreenBug Energy Inc.<\/p><p>GreenBug is bringing 21st-century disruption to hydropower generation by adapting ancient technology \u2013 the 2,000-year-old Archimedes screw \u2013 to generate cost-effective, reliable, green hydroelectricity from an abundance of long-idle small dams that are otherwise crumbling into ruin on streams and creeks across North America.<\/p><p>The concept was born of Bouk\u2019s desire to expand his business interests to address his concern that unchecked human activity is \u201cthreatening our own existence and the continued existence of every other species on the planet.\u201d After an experience volunteering with a non-profit environmental organization, he had become convinced that the profit motive was the missing ingredient for the scale of change he envisioned.<\/p><p>Following Ontario\u2019s introduction of the Green Energy Act in 2009, Bouk and business partner Brian Weber, co-founders of Bluestreak Equipment Inc., decided to research opportunities in renewable energy.<\/p><p>Bouk\u2019s father, Mike, the former CEO of Ag Energy Co-operative who now serves as president of GreenBug, advised them to look for their next idea \u201cin their own backyard\u201d \u2013 to find something local, something \u201cregular people can use.\u201d<\/p><p>As it turned out, just beyond Weber\u2019s backyard in Delhi, Ont., a little stream meandered over a small irrigation pond dam belonging to the tobacco farmer next door. Bouk and Weber soon learned that while the landscape of Norfolk County appeared flat, there were hundreds of underused, nearly derelict small dams all around them \u2013 infrastructure that had been made irrelevant a century ago.<\/p><p>At the dawn of the 20th century, these dams provided essential power for the industry of the day \u2013 serving sawmills, flour mills, woolen mills and the like \u2013 only to be made redundant when the enormous publicly owned hydroelectric generating stations at Niagara Falls came on stream in the early 1900s.<\/p><p>Decades later, the dams have become a liability to the municipality, private property owner, or conservation authority responsible for them.<\/p><p>But where others see liability, Bouk and Weber saw opportunity, despite a host of challenges to solve.<br \/>The most obvious initial challenge was the size of the dams \u2013 their \u201clow heads\u201d \u2013 meaning a drop of between one and 10 feet \u2013 precluded the use of turbine technology designed for high flow sites.<\/p><p>More research led to the Archimedes screw \u2013 invented 2,000 years ago to pump water from one place to another \u2013 typically uphill \u2013 and most commonly used today in sewage treatment facilities. The screw is also used for power generation, mainly in Europe: water cascading down the helical ridge wrapping around the cylinder shaft provides the necessary rotational action. It has the added advantage of allowing small debris \u2013 and fish \u2013 to pass through without incident.<\/p><p>Bouk and Weber needed something smaller that would work for Ontario\u2019s multitude of dams under 500kW, something that wouldn\u2019t freeze and wouldn\u2019t require constant intervention and maintenance to operate. So they walked out to the tiny dam in Weber\u2019s backyard and built their first prototype, generating a half a kilowatt of power, and GreenBug was born.<\/p><p>To further refine and scale the concept, they turned to the University of Guelph\u2019s School of Engineering and other university research partners, with funding from the National Research Council Canada \u2013 Industrial Research Assistance Program, and a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada that they used to build a predictive model to determine the best screw size for optimum return on investment.<\/p><p>GreenBug also became an Innovation Guelph Fast Lane client and was introduced to mentor Bob Ilmonen, a mechanical engineer with expertise in machine design and product development, who works extensively in the energy sector.<\/p><p>At their first meeting in GreenBug\u2019s tiny office in Delhi, Ilmonen asked the questions that led to a list of more than a dozen issues around business development. One point of discussion \u2013 tax liability \u2013 became the focus of a Fast Lane project. It was an issue that was \u201ceating away at us,\u201d Mike Bouk recalls. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to pay tax until the latest time possible.\u201d The project involved getting advice from accounting firm RLB that will significantly reduce GreenBug\u2019s tax bill in the short term \u2013 \u201chuge money they can keep in their pockets and reinvest,\u201d Ilmonen notes.<\/p><p>Ilmonen also urged the partners to develop multiple, independent revenue streams \u2013 fast. \u201cI told them: revenue is your most important thing right now; you\u2019ve just got to start making a buck. If you have to lean out a window and sell ice cream cones for revenue, that\u2019s what you have to do.<\/p><p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s what they really focused on \u2013 revenue, revenue, revenue. They focused on just getting one of these things installed because it continues to generate revenue.\u201d<\/p><p>That first project was at Fletcher\u2019s Horse World near Waterford, Ontario \u2013 where property owner John Fletcher had a crumbling mill building and dam on Nanticoke Creek, which last produced electricity to run a ginseng operation many decades ago.<\/p><p>At Fletcher\u2019s in 2013 GreenBug installed the first grid-connected Archimedes screw generator (ASG) in North America. Today the $65,000 project generates 7.2kW of power and saves Fletcher around $800 a month on the electricity bill for his horse sales and training arena.<\/p><p>While Fletcher\u2019s GreenBug system is net metered, meaning the power the site generates is applied to reduce his electricity bill, GreenBug is also focused on opportunities created by Ontario\u2019s Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) program for renewable energy development, which buys electricity from approved projects at fixed rates for 40 years.<\/p><p>The company has since established partnerships to develop several more micro hydro protects around the province, with one FIT application approved for the Delhi Quance Dam \u2013 the only FIT contract for hydropower issued in the third round of the FIT application process.<\/p><p>The Quance Dam FIT project, a partnership with Norfolk County, is on target for installation this year. The site of a lumber and gristmill founded in 1842, it is now a public park and includes a fish ladder at the dam, which was rebuilt in 1992. The site will retain its roots as a power source, producing 53 kW of power \u2013 nearly enough to power the local arena \u2013 while also serving as a tourist attraction, notes Mike Bouk.<\/p><p>GreenBug has seven FIT applications now under review, and continues to stand alone as the only company in North America using Archimedes screw technology for micro hydropower generation.<\/p><p>Their creativity and tenacious problem solving has been recognized with two awards to date: the 2014 Ontario Waterpower Association Innovation Award and the 2015 3M Environmental Innovation Award for innovative contributions to environmental change.<\/p><p>CEO Tony Bouk estimates there are thousands of dams in Canada and the U.S. that could return to profitable, environmentally friendly power generation using the GreenBug system.<\/p><p>\u201cThe only way to do it is to make money for people,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd we know that every time GreenBug installs a system and we and our partners make money, there is that much less carbon produced and fewer greenhouse gases.<\/p><p>\u201cOne way we can change the status quo right now is by taking advantage of the easy gains, the low-hanging-fruit opportunities that already exist, and with GreenBug we just happen to be doing micro hydro because the opportunity is big and we think we can do it better than it\u2019s ever been done before.\u201d<\/p><p>About Fast Lane\u2122<br \/>Fast Lane is a business acceleration program for small- and medium-sized enterprises (under 500 employees) that are facing technical, efficiency or growth challenges.
