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...

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 ...

Licensed Year(s): 2020 2019 2018
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 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 ...

Principal Investigator: Trimble, Annika EV
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016 2015
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...

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...

Licensed Year(s): 2015
Summary: The objective of this research is to identify current state of housing in Yellowknife. This field research should give insights on window-wall ratio, window type, typical R-values, typical construction assemblies, mechanical systems used and delivery process for housing. This will help benchmark the current energy and future performance of housing in the region. As well, the objective of this fiel...
