Renewable Enegry in Arctic

Energy costs in the Arctic and sub-Arctic are among the highest in the world. Remote communities in the Arctic often run on diesel-powered microgrids, not connected to larger electricity grids.Wind and solar energy sources are entirely dependent on weather, therefore mastering the ability to forecast the weather and hence the energy produced by wind and solar energy sources is the most crucial task we face today.

Hydropower

The periodic annual meltdown of Arctic ice provides a predictable and stable renewable power source. It is one of the reasons why hydropower in Arctic regions accounts for 40% of electricity generation.

Wind Power

Cold Arctic air is beneficial to wind energy production. Cold air is generally denser than warm air, increasing the output energy produced by wind turbines at the same velocities.

Solar Power

The production of power in the Arctic is seasonal since there is a lack of sunlight half the year. Anyhow, the sun reflecting from snow and low temperatures increase the output electricity of solar power cells, making it a viable supplementary power source.

Application Demo

Our solution visualizes areas with ideal environmental parameters for your eco-business. Based on your requirements, you can choose our predefined models from Market Place or define your specifications. You can edit temperature (K), wind speed (m/s), vegetation, and air density for custom conditions.

Identification of Potential Locations for Run-of-River Hydropower Plants Using a GIS-Based Procedure

The increasing demand for renewable and sustainable energy sources has encouraged the development of small run-of-river plants. Preliminary studies are required to assess the technical and economic feasibility of such plants. In this context, the identification of optimal potential run-of-river sites has become a key issue. In this paper, an approach that is based on GIS tools coupled with a hydrological model has been applied to detect potential locations for a run-of-river plant...

Potential Impact of Renewable Energy on the Sustainable Development of Russian Arctic Territories

In recent decades, there has been a positive trend in world politics in the field of promoting territories’ sustainable development. At the same time, one of the most relevant areas is to promote the transition to renewable energy sources (RES), which correspond to one of the UN’s goals—Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) “Ensuring universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy sources for all”....

Green Building in the Arctic Region: State-of-the-Art and Future Research Opportunities

The concept of Green Building refers to environmentally friendly constructions with the target of minimizing the impact on the natural environment through sustainable and efficient use of resources over their life cycle. Since modern buildings are large contributors to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, policies and international strategies intended to reduce the carbon footprint of conventional buildings are highlighting the role of this recently introduced building concept....
