Power Systems Integration project highlights
Reducing Fuel Oil Consumption in Rural Arctic Communities
September 04, 2024
This research investigates whether displacing fuel oil used for space heating with energy efficiency improvements and renewably generated electricity can substantially reduce households' energy cost burden in remote Arctic communities.
January 05, 2023
This project seeks to provide an independent, unbiased assessment to help inform future decisions by Alaska utilities and other stakeholders, while demonstrating the opportunities and challenges facing isolated regional electric grids seeking to decarbonize.
January 01, 2023
As a member of the UNIFI, or Universal Interoperability for Grid-Forming Inverter Consortium, ACEP attempts to advance grid-forming inverter technologies and to help provide new guidance for effective and stable inverter operations.
September 22, 2022
This project identified a Grid Bridging System (GBS) that allows costly diesel generators to turn off for periods of time and the entire system to run on renewables to reduce fuel consumption and environment impacts in Alaskan communities.
Modeling of Converter-Dominated Power Systems
September 21, 2022
The project intends to develop and validate models to assess the dynamic response of converter-dominated power systems across multiple spatio-temporal scales.
September 20, 2022
This project aims to restore the high penetration wind-diesel system and to simultaneously develop a real-world wind-diesel microgrid test bed for research in Kokhanok, Alaska.
