"Several wind turbines are currently operating in the Canadian North. However, no wind turbines are currently running in the Northwest Territories. A select few studies have been done in the past examining the feasibility of wind energy in communities of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. These have been reviewed here. This study is an attempt to further examine the opportunities and to identify barriers for wind energy development. Also, techno-socio-economic analysis is conducted on displacing diesel fuels generation by wind in the four communities. This project reanalyzes historical summarized data from several sources including NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Project and the Canadian Climate Normals. We have identified key locations for installing wind monitoring stations in four Inuvialuit communities: Holman, Paulatuk, Sachs Harbour, and Tuktoyaktuk. Wind climate and geography of these coastal communities is taken into consideration. To understand the current situation and to identify opportunities, site visits were made in February 2003. A public meeting was held in each community to discuss community energy concerns. The visit to each community also included a tour of their diesel power plants, a tour of the surrounding landscape to identify possible sites for wind monitoring stations and ultimate wind turbine deployment, and a meeting with hamlet officials to discuss land use issues. Informal meetings were also held with well-informed members of these communities to discuss local social, technical and economic constraints to the development of a wind energy program. The high cost of electricity was a major concern to the public-at-large. All of the communities expressed a general sense of frustration about the inability to regulate their own fuel and electricity costs. A meeting was also held with Northwest Territories Municipal and Community Affairs to discuss zoning issues for the possible citing of wind monitoring towers, and the future wind turbines. Interconnection issues and opportunities for wind energy into the local power grids were discussed with the regional officials of Northwest Territories Power Corporation (NTPC). It became evident that NTPC is open to buying wind energy from an independent power producer rather than developing further wind projects themselves. NTPC would be willing to purchase wind energy at the displaced cost of diesel fuel. Geographic features of each community, annual electrical consumption and their wind climate are described in this report. Sites are recommended for the purpose of wind monitoring. These would, however, need to be discussed and approved by the community members and with airport officials before final selections are made for wind monitoring tower installations. Most of these sites are on Inuvialuit land and will need to be dealt with accordingly. There are special considerations for wind turbines in the North, which are described in the report. For example, icing is a major concern in Sachs Harbour; it was evident on the day's visit to this community. This will require anti-icing technologies such as heated elements on blades to overcome this icing problem. Much focus and cost reductions have been made with large-scale wind turbines in the global wind energy industry. However, medium-scale turbines are the most appropriate sizes to examine for the Inuvialuit region. This scale of turbine provides many advantages over large turbines, such as ease and low cost of installation and redundancy. Since there are only a few manufacturers of medium-scale wind turbines, we need to carefully choose our product and so ensure a close working relation with the manufacturer to help improve and integrate their technology. RETScreen® software was used here to develop an economic overview of the opportunities for wind energy systems in the four communities. Historical wind speed data collected at airports by Environment Canada were used for this analysis. Two cases were examined for each of th e four communities, a low-penetration system and a high-penetration system. For Holman and Paulatuk we have included additional analysis for a predicted higher wind speed on nearby hilltops. Our analysis indicates that wind generated electricity mostly does not appear to be economically viable when compared solely to the displaced cost of diesel fuel. Other factors, including environmental, certainly make it a viable technology. It is fair to conclude that there can be economic potential for developing wind energy in the four communities of interest, provided sites are carefully selected. Several recommendations are made at the end of the report. Cost estimates for the proposed wind-monitoring program are attached as an appendix to this report. (Au)"--ASTIS [online] bibliography.
