Terminology
• Islanded: not connected to a transmission grid. • Microgrid: a small-scale power grid that can
operate independently or in conjunction with the area's main electrical grid.
• Hybrid-Diesel: grid powered by diesel and other (renewable) power sources.
• Renewable Penetration: the fraction of renewable power (instantaneous penetration) or energy (average penetration) in the grid.
• Diesel-off: operation without (mechanical) synchronous generator.

Alaska Remote Power
• 250+ remote islanded microgrids in AK: – May exhibit renewable power
penetration in excess of 300% – Have achieved >98% renewable
energy penetration – Permanently islanded =
millions of hours of `lower-48 emergency’ operation
– Function in challenging: • Technical conditions • Logistic conditions • Economic conditions • Human capacity conditions

Shipwrecks of good intentions*
• Technology failures – Power quality – Control integration – Environmental conditions
• Engineering failures – Overestimating technology
capabilities – Underestimating complexity
• Implementation failures – Lack of information – Cutting corners – Lack of training
• Company failures – Great engineers do not always
make great business people *Will Galton

Complexity kills. It sucks the life [and funds] out of developers, it makes products difficult to plan, build and test, it introduces security [and reliability] challenges and it causes end-user [customer] and administrator [and operator] frustration.

Energy Storage for Nome, AK
• Wind-diesel system
– 4 MW average demand
– 2.7 MW wind nameplate capacity
– Diesels: 1.9, 3.6, and two 5.4 MW units
• Wind power diversion to boilers at times
