Wind Energy Monitoring at Snare Hill
Principal Investigator: Gall, Patrick N.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018
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...


Validation of Wind LiDaR in Canadian Subarctic
Principal Investigator: Gall, Patrick N.
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 ...


Wind Monitoring in Norman Wells, NT
Principal Investigator: Dares, Matthew J
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...


Inuvik High Point Wind Project - Vegetation and Rare Plant Survey
Principal Investigator: Sullivan, Grant
Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: The three objectives of this project are to: 1) document baseline conditions of vegetation communities and rare plant species present at the High Point site; 2) evaluate potential Project-related effects on rare plants, traditional use plants and vegetation communities within the High Point site; and, 3) develop mitigation measures to minimize or eliminate potential Project-related effects to ...


Wind Energy Monitoring at High Point
Principal Investigator: Dares, Matthew J
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2017 2016 2015 2015 2014 2013
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 ...


GNWT High Point Wind Project - geotechnical investigations
Principal Investigator: Sullivan, Grant
Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: Geotechnical investigations are proposed to identify the depth of bedrock and other materials underlying the permafrost onsite. The results of the geotechnical investigations will be used to determine the access route, the project location, and the turbine installation technique. This activity will include drilling of boreholes and collection of samples for testing. Thirteen boreholes are plann...


Predicting the Future(s) of Renewable Energy in Canada's Arctic: MEOPAR Year of Polar Prediction Project
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...
