ARENA Showcases Kodiak鈥檚 Lead in Energy Systems of the Future
The isolated locations and challenging environments of remote northern off-grid systems have required local utilities and communities to become experts in distributed generation and resource integration. In 91视频, Kodiak is a shining example of such local expertise. The community is powered entirely by renewables, including six wind turbines, a flywheel and battery storage system, and the Terror Lake hydroelectric plant.
The curriculum will begin in Fairbanks with a two-day deep dive into project management specifically for northern energy projects. From Fairbanks, the cohort will travel to Kodiak to tour Kodiak Electric Association's isolated grid system and resource integration sites.
The ARENA 2020 participants will also visit smaller communities on Kodiak Island, where they will put their own experience and training to work addressing local energy needs.
Experience across the region has resulted in a strong awareness of what works, what doesn鈥檛 and what improvements are needed. Sharing and applying this expertise is what ARENA is about, so future projects can benefit.
