Licensed Year(s): 2023 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5366. The objective of this project is to conduct a wind and solar resource assessment monitoring campaign in the community of Paulatuk, NT. Lidar has emerged as a powerful tool to remotely sense wind characteristics via measurement of the Doppler shift of light emitted by the lidar and scattered back from particles in ...

Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5158. 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 ...

Principal Investigator: Monahan, Adam
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017
Summary: The objectives of this project are to: 1. Study how wind power and solar irradiance in the north will change in the future; 2. Working with GNWT and Power Corp, use an instrumented tower to understand the relationship between wind and solar power with larger-scale weather variations and to analyze problems such as mechanical stresses and ice loading; 3. Provide input to refine near-surface proc...

Principal Investigator: Zmeureanu, Radu
Licensed Year(s): 2016
Summary: The analysis will be done on a data set that covers at least the time interval from October 2014 to November 2015. The following steps are proposed: 1. Pre-process of data: data quality, identification of outliers, missing data, faulty sensors. 2. Development of a working good data file. 3. Identification of the pattern of energy use such as the hourly, daily and monthly profiles. 4. Develo...

Principal Investigator: Montgomery, James
Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: The objectives of this study are to develop a roadmap to identify key policies and technologies that allow for net-zero emissions buildings to be constructed in the northwest of Canada and the United States. Given the diversity of jurisdictions in in the region, the “strategies” contained within the Roadmap will aim to catalyze new legislation or policy in each jurisdiction by highlighting key opp...

Principal Investigator: Johnson, Noor
Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: The Principal Investigator (PI) will examine how different people involved in energy development decision-making, including residents, environmental organizations, government, land claims organizations, and corporations, perceive the risks and possible benefits of different energy options. In particular, it will focus on the role of different sources of knowledge (science, Inuit knowledge) and ho...

Summary: The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to measure the wind energy potential at the Inuvik high point (approximately 6 km northeast of the Inuvik airport) for two years. This is part of an alternative energy study for the Inuvik area. Wind data will be collected using instruments on a wind tower that will be installed at the site. Two full years of wind measurements and an economic analy...
