1 Solar Energy in Alaska National Renewable Energy Laboratory AK Rural Energy Conference Fairbanks, AK April 27, 2010 Presented by Brian Hirsch, Ph.D., Senior Project Leader Alaska (907) Visit us online at Operated Innovation for the for U.S. Our Department Energy of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC Future

2 Major DOE National Laboratories Pacific Northwest INEL National Renewable Lawrence Berkeley Energy Laboratory Lawrence Livermore Argonne Oak Ridge NETL Brookhaven Los Alamos Sandia Defense Program Labs Office of Science Labs Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Lab Environmental Management Lab Fossil Energy Lab

3 Ugashik Traditional Village Renewable Energy Project Project Goals: Reduce generator run-time/minimize fuel use Determine optimum mix between wind and solar Develop local technical capacity for RE system installation & maintenance Launching off point for central utility or distributed ted generation with load clusters Automate and experiment with useful dump load controls

4 Project Timeline Wind study 6/01-6/02 SECAP formed Feasibility study IGAP determination of support for RE IGAP Special Needs funding Wind turbine installation PV Solar tracker installation 2007/08 BBEDC funding Remote dump loads and monitoring installation (hopefully)

5 UTV Renewable Energy System Components Watt Proven wind turbines (84 foot towers) Watt photovoltaic system on dual axis tracker Watt Outback inverter amp hr HUP battery bank Watt Lister diesel generator Remote control dump loads: water heater; space heaters

6 Tribal Community Hall, Offices, & Health Clinic

7

8 2200 Watt Photovoltaic System on Dual Axis Tracker; Generator Building

9 Turbines, Community & Equipment Buildings

10 Challenges Logistics & coordination Delivery of supplies & equipment tried id to save money NEPA process and other permitting/siting Merging/integrating i old and new technology Variability of resources and storage (wind, solar, batteries) Coordinating multiple funding sources (EPA, BBEDC, DOE/NREL)

11 Recent & Future Improvements New inverter (one quit) New mate (system integrator) System monitoring Tower lift system New diesel generator Remote control dump load (result in more fuel savings)

12 Monitoring Performance Current RE Performance Monitoring Effort: UTV, NREL, ACEP, AEA, Specialty Electric Focus: What is the proper combination of wind/solar? How much diesel is displaced?

13 To Track or Not to Track? Cold Climate Housing Research Center 4 different PV arrays Solar array type kwhrs 2009 kw Trking Si kwhrs norm ed Annual Cap Factor SB3000/A1/JXC Y Mono % SB3000/A2/SW Y Mono % SB3000/A3/Sharp Y Poly % SB3000/A4/SW N Mono % In Fairbanks, dual axis tracking results in ~ 40% increase in capacity factor, all else being equal Data courtesy CCHRC; Analysis courtesy Rich Stromberg, AEA
