The Alaska Center for Energy and Power at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has received a $3 million grant from the Department of Energy to study options to optimize wind-diesel hybrid energy systems in rural Alaska.

Alaska is already home to several systems pairing wind turbines with diesel power plants. However, many are not performing as designed due to Alaska’s extreme weather and remote, distributed grid systems. With some of the highest energy costs in the country, including electric power approaching $1 per kilowatt-hour and gasoline prices as high as $10 per gallon in some villages, the cost of inefficiency and failure in these systems is high.
