Résumé
The Iqaluit Inuit Owned Lands Microgrid Demonstration Project is being developed by Nunavut Nukkiksautit Corporation at the Aqsarniit Hotel and Conference Centre in Iqaluit, Nunavut. The hotel currently relies on utility electricity from Qulliq Energy Corporation and an oil boiler for heat. The project includes 250 kW of solar PV, a 250 kW/535 kWh battery energy storage system, and two 400 kW diesel generators integrated with an air-to-water heat pump - the first of its kind in Nunavut. Together, the system will supply 100% of the hotel’s electrical and thermal load while reducing diesel use.
