ALASKA VILLAGE ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE (AVEC) IS A NOT-FOR PROFIT ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE SERVING 59 REMOTE ALASKAN COMMUNITIES. ENERGY COSTS IN REMOTE ALASKAN VILLAGES ARE SOME OF THE HIGHEST IN THE NATION AND RESIDENTS IN THESE COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCE POOR ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. THIS PROJECT’S MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO EVALUATE LOCAL RESOURCES AND THE TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF DEPLOYING MARINE ENERGY GENERATION IN REMOTE ALASKAN COMMUNITIES SERVED BY AVEC TO DECREASE DEPENDENCE ON DIESEL FUEL. PROVIDING RELIABLE ELECTRICITY IN THESE COMMUNITIES IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON DIESEL GENERATION. UNLESS LOCAL RENEWABLE RESOURCES CAN BE DEVELOPED THESE COMMUNITIES WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON IMPORTED DIESEL FUEL AS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF ENERGY.
THIS PROJECT INCLUDES RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND EDUCATION IN THE EVALUATION OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES, HUMAN CAPACITY, SUPPLY LOGISTICS, LICENSING AND PERMITTING, AND ECONOMICS TO ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY OF DEPLOYING HYDROKINETIC GENERATION SYSTEMS AT MULTIPLE REMOTE ALASKAN COMMUNITIES.
FIRST, A ‘DESKTOP’ STUDY WILL BE PERFORMED TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE HYDROKINETIC ENERGY RESOURCES AT AVEC MEMBER COMMUNITIES AND ASSOCIATED SITES. NEXT, THROUGH COMMUNICATION AND EDUCATION BETWEEN THE PROJECT TEAM AND LOCAL RESIDENTS, SITE VISITS, PRELIMINARY DATA GATHERING AND A DEFINED SELECTION CRITERIA DETERMINED THROUGH THE DESKTOP STUDY, A SUB-SET OF 10 SITES LOCATED IN OR NEAR THE COMMUNITIES WILL BE IDENTIFIED FOR SITE AND RESOURCE CHARACTERIZATION AND STUDY. LOCAL VESSEL OPERATORS AND CREWS WILL BE INVOLVED IN THE DESKTOP STUDY EFFORT.
COMMUNITIES AND ASSOCIATED SITES WITH SUFFICIENT PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS (E.G., VELOCITY, BATHYMETRY) FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THE RESOURCE WILL BE DETERMINED AND THEN FURTHER ENGAGED TO HELP EVALUATE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION, AND CONTINUING OPERATION. THIS STAGE WILL INCLUDE PUBLIC OUTREACH TO BUILD AWARENESS OF HYDROKINETIC TECHNOLOGIES AND THE SCOPE OF POTENTIAL PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. IT WILL EVALUATE SITE CONTROL, LICENSING AND LOGISTICS INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL OF IN-STATE INDUSTRIES TO BE INVOLVED IN DEVELOPMENT. POTENTIAL PROJECTS WILL BE EVALUATED FOR ESTIMATED DISPLACEMENT OF DIESEL FUEL BASED ON ANNUAL ENERGY PRODUCTION AND ESTIMATED COSTS OF IMPLEMENTATION, OPERATIONS, AND LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE. A FINAL REPORT WITH SUMMARIZED EFFORTS, RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE CRAFTED FOR FUTURE USE AND DEVELOPMENT.$1,490,832
