ACEP Utility Student Internships 2021
In its third year, the ACEP Utility Student Internship program selected 13 interns to pursue projects in various areas of energy research. The Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP) has partnered with utilities/organizations around the state to work with interns in a combination of remote work and on-site visits.
Several of the interns are enrolled in University of Alaska programs of computer science, electrical and mechanical engineering; two are enrolled in economics programs. One intern is an Alaskan at Montana State University studying industrial/management systems engineering and mechanical/industrial engineering programs, and another intern is a Canadian masters student pursuing an Indigenous Development program at the University of Winnipeg.
As part of their preparatory work, the students successfully completed the Alaska Energy Utility Lecture Series, a 1-credit hour course through UAF Bristol Bay Campus, during the 2021 spring semester. Immediately preceding the internship, the students attended a 5-day ACEP/ASU Microgrid Boot Camp, an intensive training course focusing on the resources, technologies and operations of Alaska's wide range of microgrid energy systems.
