There are numerous best practice documents available for wind energy developers.   However, there is no such document in existence for isolated wind-diesel systems which, in addition to being more complex from a technical standpoint, also deal with more unique climatic issues and logistically complex challenges in Alaska.

This is the basis for this work. This document presents ACEP’s, and in particular, WiDAC’s position on the major principles of implementing wind-diesel systems in Alaska and considers factors that may foster sustainable integration of renewable power in the generation mix.

This peer review draft aims to encourage discussion, to initiate changes where they are needed, and eventually lead to a robust document that will provide practical guidance, in the form of Best Practice Statements, in implementing wind-diesel projects in Alaska.
