ACEP Testing Facilities
Hybrid applications laboratory
ACEP’s testbeds provide a unique opportunity to test equipment and new software in a controlled setting to lower costs to industry and reduce risk to villages and remote locations. With over 300 remote communities whose reliance on diesel or diesel hybrid power results in some of the highest energy costs in the nation, Alaska has a strong interest in improving performance of both new and existing systems. To address this need, ACEP has established the Hybrid Applications Laboratory for testing hardware and software components within an integrated grid system. Designed for maximum flexibility, this system is capable of testing a wide range of islanded microgrid and distributed generation scenarios, as well as the performance of individual components. Examples include next generation utility energy storage such as innovative battery systems and flywheel technology, diesel off operation, power electronics development and testing, and model verification.

Hydrokinetic test site features
• Permitted location for testing hydrokinetic devices
With many of Alaska’s communities located along major waterways or near tidal basins, there is significant interest from developers, utilities and communities to develop Alaska’s hydrokinetic power resource.
• Equipment, instruments and experienced engineers to conduct or support testing projects and interpretation of test results.
To facilitate development of a hydrokinetic power industry in Alaska, ACEP established the Tanana River Hydrokinetic Test Site in Nenana, Alaska, to test hydrokinetic power-generating devices and technology under realistic Alaskan river conditions.
• An anchoring point installed in the river channel for mooring devices and technology undergoing testing.
Researchers use the test site to define ways hydrokinetic turbines and aspects of the river interact, including fish, debris, sediment transport and icing. Information collected from these studies will be used by hydrokinetic developers to improve their designs, and by Alaska’s permitting agencies to inform their decision making process..
• Detailed characterization of river bathymetry, current flow (including power density and turbulence), fish population, bed-load and suspended sediment transport, and riverbed conditions. Site Support Services
“Baseline hydrokinetic fish studies such as those done at UAF reduce the risks to both industry and the resource, leverage our existing fisheries knowledge, and help promote both hydrokinetic development and sciencebased fisheries management.” Jim Durst, Habitat Biologist, Alaska
Nenana is served by major rail and highway infrastructure and offers a variety of technical services to deploy, recover, and modify or repair devices under test (e.g., welding, tugs, barges, and a dock-operated crane). Major industrial services and an international airport are available in Fairbanks, 60 miles north of Nenana.

Making Wind Work for Alaska There are more than 20 wind projects serving Alaska’s communities with many more planned. Alaska is a world leader in the development of islanded wind hybrid systems. energy field of the future
Coal to Liquids and Gas to Liquids Like most of the world, Alaska depends upon liquid fuels for all modes of transportation. In addition, liquid fuel provides heat for most residents outside of the Anchorage area. ACEP is part of an interdisciplinary team modeling the feasibility of a coal-to-liquids or gas-to-liquids plant in Alaska, and comparing those results with other proposed infrastructure development projects around the state. The study is funded by the U.S. Air Force in part because of the challenges of providing a secure source of aviation fuel to remote locations, such as their Alaskan Air Force Bases. Project funding Air Force Research Laboratory · Air Force Office of Scientific Research
ACEP, together with partners at the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER), is leading a three year multi-disciplinary effort to develop an inter-campus Center of Excellence in wind-diesel hybrid technologies. This program conducts research addressing the technological challenges of wind development as well as the social, economic, and political challenges that accompany, and sometimes hinder, deployment of such systems.

Small Modular Nuclear Energy
Heat Utilization
Small modular nuclear reactors have been discussed for possible Alaskan applications for some time. Together with partners at the UAA Institute of Social and Economic Research, ACEP completed a comprehensive assessment of the technology, its potential for meeting various Alaskan related energy challenges, and an approximate time frame the technology could become commercially available for Alaskan use.
Due to the high cost of fuel in villages, diesel generators are expensive to operate. Improvements in generation efficiency present an opportunity to save money on the part of rural utilities and their customers. One possible way to increase overall efficiency is to capture and utilize the waste heat produced by the diesel generators.
Project funding State of Alaska Project partners U.S. Department of Energy
Waste heat utilization can be accomplished using an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), which can generate power from a low quality industrial waste heat source. Small ORC devices that fit village-sized gen-sets are new to the market and ACEP has been assessing options for applying these systems to Alaskan applications. ACEP is currently testing an ORC device at the UAF power plant which, if successful, could increase the efficiency of power plants throughout the state.
