Project Experience

Midgard was retained by YEC to conduct a variety of System Impact Studies ("SIS") for a variety of Independent Power Producer ("IPP") and photovoltaic ("PV") additions to the Yukon electrical grid. SIS are powerflow and short circuit analysis studies of the Yukon electrical grid to evaluate the addition of new energy sources, such as solar panels or generation units. SIS included:

1. Diesel Rental Support – Midgard evaluated the addition of seven (7) 1.8 MW diesel rental units.

2. Haines Junction IPP – Midgard evaluated the addition of a 1 MW AC Solar IPP onto the 25 kV transmission line to Haines Junction.

3. Partridge PV PP – Midgard evaluated the addition of a 2 MW solar PV generator, northeast of the Klondike Highway at the Partridge Farm.

4. Northern Bluebird PV IPP – Midgard evaluated the addition of a 2 MW solar PV generator at kilometer #63 of the Silver Trail Highway.

5. Carcross PV IPP – Midgard evaluated the addition of a 2 MW (with potential expansion to 4 MW) solar PV generator near the community of Carcross, into the ATCO-owned 34.5 kV electrical system.

6. ArcticPharm PV IPP – Midgard evaluated the addition of a 2 MW (with potential expansion to 4 MW) solar PV generator, approximately 20km away from the Laberge Substation (#21) on the Yukon Interconnected Grid.
