Sizing a Hybrid Power System for Battle Harbour Island in Labrador
Battle Harbour is a small island in the Labrador Sea just off the South East coast of Labrador. Presently, electricity is generated on Battle Harbour using a diesel generator when the island is populated for 3 summer months per year. Due to its remote location, the fuel cost on Battle Harbour is ver...
