Description
Summary:This report presents the results of an investigation and analysis of energy storage systems and alternate energy sources for remote site applications. The first phase of the effort centered on the broad based study of hydrogen storage, thermal storage, batteries, and flywheels as energy storage systems along with wind turbine, solar photovoltaic, and solar thermionic energy converters. A wind turbine battery system was recommended based on performance, cost and availability. Effort under the second phase of the program concentrated on a system using two separate nominal eight kilowatt wind turbine modules in conjunction with a lead-acid battery energy storage unit. The system was specified to operate in conjunction with an existing power grid system located at Bar Main, Barter Island, Alaska. Specific system concepts and recommendations are presented with supporting analyses. A design checklist is included with specific items for consideration in the preparation of a design specification.
