left to right: Larry Small & Roy Roberts aLaSka ruraL uTILITIeS COLLabOraTIVe Service Area: Goodnews Bay Geographic Location : Western Alaska Population Served: 246 with 76 connections Nominated By: Francine Moreno ARUC Office Manager The operators for Goodnews Bay not only have a new water system they have a new energy source, to help keep costs down for local residents a micro wind farm has been installed. The wind turbines in Goodnews Bay were brought on line June 28th. The micro wind farm includes three wind turbines with a rated output of 2.4 kW each. The performance of the new wind turbines can be viewed on line at http://track.windenergy.com/view/reports/ sitevw/index.pl?site_id=144 In a one day period over the last three days the micro wind farm produced 23.3 kWh. The daily average demand at the water treatment plant varies from a low of 14 kWh to a high of 67 kWh. The wind this time of year in Goodnews Bay is expected to be marginal. Higher winds are expected to occur during the fall, winter and spring months when the water treatment plants electrical demands are the highest. An agreement has been reached with AVEC and that any excess power produced by the facility will be sold back to the utility. The goal of this project is to demonstrate technology that can take advantage of an available natural resource to improve the sustainability of sanitation infrastructure. An engineering report that demonstrates the feasibility of the project will be published soon. An engineering report documenting the success of the facility will be completed next summer. The operators in Goodnews Bay are jacks of all trades, they need to know about everything to keep water and sanitation affordable to their customers.
