Renewable energy feasibility study at Fort Berthold Indian Reservation
This project performed a literature review on renewable energy systems (RES), specifically in or near FBIR. It also developed an annual electric energy hourly profile for New Town considering energy use by residential buildings, commercial buildings and oil pads. A renewable energy analysis was done in SAM using scripts developed from this project that allows for wind and solar energy simulation simultaneously. In addition, a detailed economic spreadsheet was developed in an Excel for this project. Significant conclusions and findings are:
- A new hourly energy profile development for New Town that will enable community scale renewable and energy efficiency analysis
- Preliminary analysis showing solar has higher NPV that wind, but a combination of solar and wind can also provide cost-effective systems
- Due to low buy-back rates, renewable energy systems should be size to cover less than 30% of annual electric demand
- Recommended locations for wind farm are nearby Parshall
