Background Information
• 27 of AVEC’s 52 villages are in wind regimes of class 4 or better.
• Given the characteristics of an NW/100, this means that one machine should be able to produce about 250,000 kWh per year.
• Given a diesel efficiency of 14 kWh/gallon generated by our new diesel sets, this means that one 100-kW wind turbine might displace about 17,800 gallons per year of diesel fuel use for power generation. A mini-wind farm of three units would displace about 53,400 gallons per year.

Consider that in 2004 AVEC:Consider that in 2004 AVEC:
• Purchased 4.9 million gallons of diesel fuel
• Actively used nearly 550 fuel tanks for storage
• Took on fuel in 134 separate deliveries (including 27 by air)
• Has only one village – Minto – that can be supplied by a fuel truck
• Continued to experience electric load growth driven by new water and sewer systems, airports, schools and housing in the villages
This load growth increases fuel use and fuel storage needs

Therefore, successful integration of wind generation could mean the following to AVEC:
• A hedge against increasing fuel costs
• A hedge against the increasing costs of marine deliveries
• Extension of on-hand fuel supplies which may translate to favorable delivery scheduling by marine transporters
• A reduction of the need to build expensive, additional storage on hard-to-acquire or difficult-to-construct sites.

To do such efforts cost effectively, we need to do good planning and coordinate efforts with other construction projects underway in the village.
• The recent bulk fuel tank farm and power plant priorities of the Denali Commission provide some opportunity to coordinate logistics and use specialty equipment such as pile drivers or cranes that may be on-site.

Access for

equipment
required to place
foundations and
erect turbines is a
challenge.

Poor roads, water and sewer lines, boardwalks and existing overhead
power and phone lines present obstacles and challenges.

• They must not settle, tilt or be uplifted
• Pile foundations (six to eight piles) may extend 1/3 to 2/3 the height of the tower into the ground
Foundations in permafrost are a challenge
