Product Certifications & Commissioning Blue Planet Energy Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
Proposal information to include, objective, methods, results, and conclusion: Following a hybrid microgrid project installed in a remote village in Alaska, Blue Planet Energy will deep dive into the complexities and success behind one of the world’s most isolated microgrids.
In Shungnak, Alaska, food to stock the community store, supplies for the small school or diesel to fuel the generator power plant, and almost everything needed to sustain the village must be shipped in. Residents of the village also relied on a diesel-based power plant system.
A solar and energy storage system instead now offsets fuel consumption of the diesel generators, reducing sound and carbon pollution while also lowering the overall cost of energy for the community. The microgrid is anticipated to save the community 25,000 gallons of diesel in the first year of operation.
Explore the design considerations, component selection, material logistics, and commissioning of a hybrid microgrid that brought energy independence to Shungnak and learn how this process can be replicated across the country.
