Feasibility Assessment of Microgrid Wind Energy Systems: Implementation of TASED in the Arctic Regions of Yamal and Murmansk
Due to its extreme climate and low population density, the Russian Arctic region remains largely infrastructurally undeveloped. Many settlements in the Arctic area are not connected to the Unified Energy System of Russia (UES) and employ various carbon-intensive sources for local electricity generat...
