Northern Energy Innovation program

A community-based approach to inventorying energy and greenhouse gas emissions was developed and carried out by Kluane First Nation (KFN) and the Yukon Research Centre (YRC) in 2011/2012. Residents and commercial and government operators in Burwash…

Coupling energy storage systems with renewable generation systems has a variety of advantages including: increasing the penetration of renewables, reducing curtailment, providing energy security, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and providing an…

This study investigates a general model for fuel consumption of prime diesel generators within a set range of loadings. The model is parametrized by the rated power output, or sizing, of a generator. This research gives insight into generator fuel…

Remote hybrid power systems that integrate renewable resources, such as wind and solar, in a thermal generation system encounter technical barriers with regards to the depth of penetration of these renewable resources. Some of these barriers can be…

"Over one year of wind measurements have now been collected at the Kluane Wind Project site and the data has been analysed and correlated to Burwash Landing’s airport to provide an estimate of long term mean wind speed at the site. While the…
