Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4791.
The goal of this project is to verify that wind LiDaR technology has reached a suitable maturity that it can be used in place of a meteorological tower to perform wind resource assessment in subarctic and arctic conditions.
The study will use an existing NRG 60m Meteorological tower located in Norman Wells, and a ...

2018 Summary:
The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to develop further insight into the wind energy potential for the economic feasibility of building a wind farm in Norman Wells, a remote community that is dependent on gas-electric generation.
A 60 m meteorological tower will be installed in September 2018. This tower is equipped with both heated and unheated anemometers and wind vanes at 40 m, ...

Summary:
Aurora Research Institute (ARI) will determine the economic, social, and environmental value from local production of pellets for biomass boilers. During this study ARI work with an industry partner to evaluate and improve the quality of the product, and measure the efficiency and maintenance costs imposed by the cardboard pellet fuel source.
Collection of waste cardboard will take place in pa...

The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to continue to measure the wind energy potential at the Inuvik High Point (approximately 6 km northeast of the Inuvik airport). This is part of an alternative energy study for the Inuvik area. Two full years of wind measurements and an economic analysis will be necessary to confirm the wind energy potential at the Inuvik High Point site. The study ...

Summary:
The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to continue to measure the wind energy potential at CN Hill (approximately 130 km from Yellowknife) until the site is next serviced and the equipment removed. This is part of an alternative energy study for the Yellowknife area. Wind data will be collected using instruments that measure wind speed, direction, and temperature. Sensors are already in...
