The Mi'gmaq community of Gesgapegiag wanted to set up a self-sufficient microgrid to reduce diesel dependency at an off-grid tourist complex.
Nergica assisted the Gesgapegiag community with the technical aspects of the project, including design, construction, installation and commissioning of the microgrid.
Highlights
As part of this project, Nergica supervised all stages of the microgrid's construction, from design to commissioning. Here is an overview of the project's main achievements and spin-offs.
-
Installation of a microgrid consisting of a solar park totalling 108 photovoltaic panels with an installed capacity of 43.7 kW and a lithium-ion battery storage system totalling 307 kWh, supplemented by two propane generators and two boilers to cover thermal demand.
-
Installation of instrumentation for the solar park and microgrid, enabling meteorological, production and consumption data to be collected at the site for research purposes.
-
Benefits: Relais de la Cache's diesel consumption will be reduced by between 10,000 and 12,000 liters per year, equivalent to between 27,000 and 32,000 kg of CO2.
