DOE Office of Indian Energy Partners with ACEP to Study Wind-Diesel Systems in Alaska
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Indian Energy is collaborating with ACEP to support in-depth technical and economic analysis of wind-diesel energy systems in rural Alaska. The resulting report will evaluate the costs and benefits of installing hybrid power systems in Alaska Native villages to alleviate high energy costs by reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels.
Join our 2013 Summer Internship Program!
ACEP has several student positions open for research of energy solutions, such as geothermal, hydrokinetics, high voltage direct current systems and wind-diesel hybrid applications. More detailed information can be found in the 2013 Summer Intership flyer or on our Internship webpage.
Apply now to ACEP’s summer internship program! Application deadline is February 28, 2013.
