摘要
Wind energy in south central Alaska may be a solution to balance the rising cost of electricity. This article examines key parameters for the design of a wind farm in the Arctic Valley in the Municipality of Anchorage. These include recorded wind speeds near the site, selecting potential wind turbines, and the economic feasibility of the project using After Tax Analysis. The results show the project is marginally suitable for generating electricity with the wind data examined including the renewable energy investment tax credit. If adequate wind speed could be proven to exist, this location could produce years of inexpensive electric energy.
