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...

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 very expensive.

Two cases are considered, a) load as usual b) load reduced by 50% after energy conservation measures. The sizing of the hybrid power system for both cases is discussed.
