Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5159. 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 instru...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4692. 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 60m meteorological tower will be installed in September 2018. This towe...

Summary: The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to measure the wind energy potential at CN Hill (approximately 130 km from Yellowknife) for two years. 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. At CN Hill, the sensors will be installed on an existing Northwestel Tower. Tw...

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...

Summary: The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to measure the wind energy potential at Storm Hills for two years, as part of an alternative energy study for the Inuvik area. Wind data will be collected using an existing infrastructure (New North Networks tower) at the site. A desktop study was recently completed for Inuvik and the surrounding area at the request of the Minister of Environme...

Summary: The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to continue quantifying the wind energy potential for the economic feasibility of installing a wind turbine as a part of the Avalon Rare Metals Inc. development near Thor Lake. Due to equipment problems, no data was collected during the winter months of the last two years. The monitoring equipment has now been replaced and we aim to capture this im...

Summary: To measure solar irradiance levels in Jean Marie River and Ft. Providence, in order to support pre-feasibility studies on the use of solar energy in those communities. The project engineer will travel to Jean Marie River and Fort Providence to start monitoring solar irradiance in the two communities. The monitoring units will likely be placed on a GNWT building in Fort Providence, and on the ba...

Summary: The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to quantify wind energy potential for the economic feasibility of building a wind farm in Tuktoyaktuk. This year the proposed project will involve maintaining data collection at the wind monitoring site, as well as data analysis and reporting. The Tuktoyaktuk wind monitor will visit the wind tower site monthly and maintain the monitoring site e...
