Northern Energy Capital on behalf of Kivalliq Alternative Energy will conduct a preliminary renewable energy study for the community of Whale Cove, Nunavut. The community of Whale Cove currently relies on aging diesel generators to meet the local electricity demand. The project’s scope is to collect wind data using a sonic detection and ranging (SODAR) device to assess the feasibility of a utility-scale wind energy project. The SODAR unit will measure wind speed, direction, and frequency over a 12-month period starting in Fall 2024. The wind monitoring equipment will be placed on the northern boundary of Whale Cove, approximately 2 km North of town and 5 km South of the airport. The project will not require extensive land displacement or alteration; the SODAR device will be placed on the ground surface with a 3.0m x 3.0m tent enclosure to protect both wildlife and equipment, including a 5.7m x 6.1m solar power supply. The SODAR itself measures 0.5m x 0.5m x 3.0m tall. The study will consider the use of wind and battery energy storage systems, and the demand in order to effectively offset the diesel generation in the community.
