Feasibility and Application of Emerging Renewable Technologies with Smart Micro-Grid Integration to Reduce Carbon at Remote Northern Communities in Canada

FY 2018-19 · 2018-08-20

Summary
Solar plant interconnections with diesel generators in northern climates present many challenges. The Firm proposes a method that utilizes advanced control algorithms to manage a micro-grid for remote areas. Power fluctuations of the photovoltaic plant due to unpredictable shading reduces the impact of solar energy. The Firm's designs optimize module efficiencies, use storage to condition the fluctuating power generated by the PV plant and isolate design parameters to identify contributing factors in our effort to maximize overall system efficiencies for northern climates.

The Firm proposes a method that utilizes advanced control algorithms to manage a micro-grid for remote areas.

Description (French)
Les interconnexions de centrales solaires avec des générateurs diesel dans les climats nordiques présentent de nombreux défis. L'entreprise propose une méthode, qui utilise des algorithmes de contrôle avancés pour gérer un micro-réseau pour les zones éloignées. Les fluctuations de puissance de l'installation photovoltaïque dues à l'ombrage imprévisible réduisent l'impact de l'énergie solaire. Les conceptions de l'entreprise optimisent l'efficacité des modules, utilisent le stockage pour conditionner la puissance fluctuante générée par l'installation photovoltaïque et isolent les paramètres de conception pour identifier les facteurs contribuant à optimiser l'efficacité globale du système pour les climats nordiques.
