  1. Effects of Village Power Quality on Fuel Consumption and Operating Expenses/ Village Power System Performance Monitoring:(CY 2006 Annual Review) UAF PI: Richard Wies UAF co-PI: Ron Johnson Industry PI: Peter Crimp, Alaska Energy Authority A project funded by the US DOE National Energy Technology Lab (NETL) through the Arctic Energy Technology & Development Laboratory (AETDL) AEA

  2. Village Power Quality and Performance Monitoring (CY 06) • Introduction • Objectives • Project Milestones • Project Highlights • Project Budget • Sample Analysis • Future Work 2

  3. Village Power System A stand-alone system with multiple power sources: Diesel Gen, Wind, Hydro, Batteries, and others 3

  4. Objectives • Create a consortium of rural utilities: • Alaska rural utilities • Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) • Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC) • Survey of existing village power monitoring systems • Data collection and management (standardization) • Optimization through data analysis and energy profiling (Hybrid Arctic Remote Power SIMulator): • load profiling • energy efficiency analysis • economic analysis • environmental analysis 4

  5. Project Milestones (CY06) 5

  6. Project Highlights (1) • Village power system data collection & analysis: • AEA and AVEC: developing a standard system for downloading village power data on a regular schedule and in a convenient format. • Metering Projects: powerhouse electrical data, weather stations, met towers, BTU meters from heat recovery systems, and electrical data from village users such as schools, washeterias, and community buildings. • Kongiganak, Lime Village, Stevens Village, and Wales Village - UAF evaluated data with its hybrid power system analysis tool (HARPSIM) • Kwigillingok and Kongiganak - access to online data (URL: http://www.aidea.org/aea/aearemotemon.html) • Remote monitoring switchgear installed in 16 villages: • Atka Diesel Powerhouse and Hydro Facility, Arctic Village, Chuathbaluk, Crooked Creek, Golovin, Hughes, Kongiganak, Koyukuk, Kwigillingok, Pedro Bay, Manokotak, Nikolski, Sleetmute, Stevens Village, Stony River, and Takotna • 5 more villages by summer 2007: • Buckland, Chefornak, Diomede, Larsen Bay Hydro Facility, and Ouzinkie Diesel Powerhouse and Hydro Facility 6

  9. Project Highlights (2) • Graduate student Ashish Agrawal defended his PhD dissertation entitled “Hybrid Electric Power Systems in Remote Villages: Economic and Environmental Analysis for Monitoring, Optimization and Control” on Monday, July 17, 2006 based on work related to this project. • Presentation on hybrid village power systems at 2006 Alternative Energy Fair at the Chena Hot Springs Geothermal Energy Conference on August 20, 2006. • A one-year extension with additional funds of $71k from DOE for salary and travel was granted on this project to complete the collection and analysis of data from newly installed monitoring systems. • Planning a consortium meeting/workshop for AK rural utilities at AK Rural Energy conference in April 2007. 9

  11. Sample Analysis (1): Kongiganak Kongiganak Village • Location: western shore of Kuskokwim bay, 451 miles west of Anchorage (north latitude 59.96°, west longitude 162.89°). • 90 housing units, 11 vacant, one school attended by 116 students (US 2000 Census). • Marine climate: temp range 6°F - 57°F. • Average annual precipitation: 22 inches • Average annual snowfall: 43 inches • Current Power System: • DEGS: • Diesel #1: 235 kW • Diesel #2: 190 kW • Diesel #3: 190 kW • Diesel #4: 140 kW • One DEG is sufficient to supply the load • Avg: 95 kW • Min: 45 kW • Max: 150 kW • Wind Speed: 7 m/s (15.6 mph) • Test System: • 2-190kW DEGS (one as backup) • 100 kWh absolyte IIP battery bank • 1-65kW AOC 15/50 WTGs • 12 kW PV array • 100kVA bidirectional converter 11

  18. Sample Analysis (8) 20-year LCC analysis of the Kongiganak Village hybrid power system using HARPSim Controller = 1% Miscellaneous = 1% Switchgear = 1% Battery Bank = 5% DEGs Renewables = 5% Renewables Battery Bank Switchgear Controller Miscellaneous DEGs = 87% The NPV of the system, with i = 7% and fuel cost = 0.79 USD per liter (3.0 USD per gallon), is 1,974,389 USD 18

  19. Sample Analysis (9) i = 0.03 i = 0.07 19

  20. Sample Analysis (10) i = 0.07 i = 0.03 Diesel-battery system Wind-diesel-battery system 20

  21. Sample Analysis (11) i = 0.07 i = 0.03 21

  22. Project Budget The total budget for this project is $371.4K with $80.0K as a subcontract to AEA. About 78% or $284.5K of the budget has been spent or encumbered. 22

  23. Future Work • Data Management: Storage, Format, and Web Access • Data Collection & Analysis: New remote monitoring sites (electrical, thermal, and meteorological data) • Select new villages for remote monitoring installs • Consortium of AK Rural Utilities and Industry Partners: Meeting/Workshop at AK Rural Energy Conference in April 2007 • Remote Supervisory Control of Village Power Systems for Management and Optimization (Future Project) 23
