The high cost of providing power in remote regions of Alaska through the traditional use of diesel electric generator sets has prompted the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) to evaluate Pressurized Fluidized-Bed Combustors (PFBC's) as a replacement technology. The Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) of the US Department of Energy (DOE) has been supplying AEA with data to further their analysis of the application of PFBC technology to power generation on village-scale systems. Starting with the results from studies managed by a review of how modular PFBC construction could be applied to remote villages was undertaken. Results of this study have applications to remote micro-grid village sites in Alaska as well as to off-grid located in other regions of the world.
