CSP - Energy Transitions and a Globalized Arctic: The Role of Science, Technology and Governance Event

Abstract

Energy Transitions and a Globalized Arctic: The Role of Science, Technology and Governance Event:Event is a focused on Arctic power and energy with Singapore and Alaska experts to support based on leveraging insights and new opportunities for innovation on micro-grids and "islanded communities" in the Arctic and Southeast Asia. It is one of the new, basic research Arctic links in Singapore that already has a link between UAF and NUS. This topic is a focus for the basic research push for the DoS Arctic Council chairmanship for the US. The US Senior Arctic Official Mrs Julie Gourley and Dr Martin Jeffries OSTP have stated that Arctic islanded community topic ~is a research focus area for the US as chair of the Arctic Council. Outcomes are: To study stand-alone energy management systems for remote and rural communities, particularly micro-grids that can be practically demonstrated;~ To examine trends on emerging and existing energy technologies for support systems and infrastructure that support remote and maritime operations;~ To examine the executing and transitioning of energy technology projects (distributed power generation, smart, micro and even village hybrid-grid cases) and discuss the repository of evaluations, and how to integrate security and return on investments estimations.~ Bring together experts, researchers from academia and industry as well as potential users to exchange knowledge and ideas on economics, technology, and other aspects of energy system that are application to remote and maritime operations.~ At the broader level, a key objective of the event is to facilitate collaboration and capacity-building on research related to the Arctic and on power and energy.~ Explore partnerships and facilitate collaboration among workshop participants in order to accelerate energy technologies with low Technology Readiness Level (TRL).
