Alternative energy as a source of production for electricity for rural Alaska is very wishful thinking for the majority of locations. Rural Alaska will be tied to diesel for the foreseeable future. S…

Alan, Don, Kat (anyone chime in)

What are the technical issues surrounding connecting multiple Independent Power Producing (IPP) homes to the typical village power utility in rural Alaska. Assume IPP systems sized 2-10kW - micro hydro, small wind and/or solar PV! Assume centralized Diesel Power generation.

Graph is a calculated value taking fuel consumption (gph) and load (kw) directly from the ECU.

Whats the source of the trending data and where is the sensor? We typically use both the engine computer and the daytank or other fuel tank. Could the fuel used to cool the injectors and being returned to the tank be the cause?

Check out the efficiency verses time graphs attached for a DD Series 60. Efficiency graph seems to be very cyclic, anyone have any ideas why?

Kat,

Good point! We will see what other members think.

I set up some generic groups in the beginning so people get a better idea of the capabilities of the network. We can always rename a group, delete a group or set up another group. We could have a Wind-Diesel group and have three main topics of discussions (1. Wind-Diesel systems; 2. Diesel; 3. Integration and Modeling) in the “Discussion Forum” section of the group.

So should a wind diesel topic be posted here or under wind? Maybe an integration and modeling group would work better?
