ACEP Facilities
ACEP Offices
The Alaska Center for Energy and Power is located on the fourth floor of the Joseph E. Usibelli Engineering Learning and Innovation Building (JUB) on the University of Alaska Fairbanks Campus. ACEP also has a team and office based in Anchorage.
Energy Technology Facility
The Energy Technology Facility (ETF) houses state-of-the- art laboratories, equipment and infrastructure to support ACEP’s applied research, including the Power Systems Integration laboratory and the hydrokinetics high-bay. The ETF is located on the UAF campus just west of the powerplant off Tanana Loop E.Test Sites and Laboratories
ACEP’s facilities are designed to offer a unique testing environment to technology developers, utility managers and other decision makers. Envisioned as an intermediate step to full commercial deployment, these facilities were carefully designed for a range of testing needs, enabling assessment of product performance based on many real world conditions.
A state-of-the-art facility designed to emulate an isolated hybrid-diesel grid system on the same scale as a village power system. Allows for scenario simulation, testing weather data from community weather stations, and more.
River test site for the study of hydrokinetic power generating devices, related technologies, and to characterize the river environment under realistic Alaska river conditions
Located on the UAF campus, the Solar Photovoltaic test site characterises solar PV performance at high latitudes and in cold regions.
