Cold Weather Renewables

Publication - Clean Power Professionals Group - Mar 2, 2021

Going forward most regions must transition to very low greenhouse gas (GHG) electric generation (a.k.a. ‘renewables) in order to avoid the worst effects from climate change.This paper is about the coldest regions in North America, and how they..

Senior Consultant, Microgrid Labs

"We can" readily harden wind turbines for cold weather? At $35K a pop (total in Texas $375M) I would expect the cost would be borne by windfarm owners. After all, it's not ratepayers' fault their machines are unreliable!

It doesn't seem to be rocket science to build a wind-turbine that could withstand the coldest temperatures. After all, if we can build a helicopter drone that can fly around on Mars... The trick is building a utility-scale, horizontal-axes wind turbine. Both projects I detailed in this paper (GVEA Eva Creek and Diavik Diamond Mine wind farms) use this standard configuration., albeit...

What about double face PV? It can work with sun shinning and without. It may be useful in Alaska. Russia tried this in Cyberia .

NY Port of Albany looking at $200 mn factory for offshore wind towers, w/ up to 150 manuf'd annually over anticipated 30-year period. Really fascinating to see the race for not just being the site of offshore wind, but the site to manufacture the necessary equipment. Another great example of clean energy creating jobs!

Yes, and there is some tension between northeastern states emerging, since in some instances it's not sensible to duplicate certain assets (a huge wind tower manufacturing facility, for instance). First mover sometimes wins the lion's share. Thanks as always, Matt, for reading and commenting. Much appreciated ;-)
