Trial Reservoirs are global programmes that de-risk full scale trials of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 8-9 technologies and methods in operational environments by enabling a trial that’s free if it fails.
Isle’s trial design and validation expertise is brought to bear by supporting the development of critical success factors and key performance indicators (KPIs) that are mutually accepted by the technology user and vendor prior to each trial, to ensure the trial provides all the data the end-user needs in order to answer the question, “can I implement this?” How does it work?
Funding is provided as an unsecured loan to the technology company to cover trial costs.
If the trial meets its pre-agreed KPIs, the user is obliged to make a meaningful commitment (usually to purchase the technology) and the technology company then repays the funds into the TR.
There are five Trial Reservoirs:
Advanced industrial water treatment solutions addressing resource recovery, emerging contaminants, waste-to-energy, circular economy, and decentralization
Technologies that mitigate climate change through either direct or indirect GHG emissions reduction
Trials for utilities in Brazil who can procure technologies through a Brazilian supplier
Power supply industry technologies that help reduce reliance on non-renewables
Trial has a minority-led utility partner or meets the needs of a disadvantaged community within the trial’s service area. All trials are located in the US.
The Trial Reservoirs would not be possible without our amazing sponsors:-
