Enhancing Wind Farm Design and Development for Harsh Northern Locations

The Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland is in a harsh northern climate with excellent wind power potential. The partner organization, St. Anthony Basin Resources Inc (Sabri), has been approved for a Licence to Occupy (LTO) for a location on the Great Northern Peninsula. The purpose of the LTO is to investigate the feasibility of wind power development at the site. In this proposed research, the interns will assist Sabri in the technical activities of monitoring the wind resources at the site and evaluating the technical and economic potential of installing wind turbines at the site. This project has notable alignment with Canada’s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan and Rural Economic Development Strategy.
