Preliminary Analysis of the Electricity Consumption of Residential Units in Nunavik (Quebec, Canada)
Many Arctic communities, such as those from the Nunavik (Quebec, Canada), are not connected to the main power grid and rely on costly and polluting diesel power plants. Understanding electricity consumption behaviors and patterns is crucial to develop energy storage solutions and integrate intermittent renewable energy sources in the mix. However, there is currently a lack of statistics and data available on the electricity consumption of houses in these communities. In this work, the electricity consumption of 12 units in Quaqtaq (Nunavik) have been monitored in detail for a year and an analysis of the consumption patterns is presented. Results show seasonal patterns for dominant loads and significant variations among units with an average daily consumption of 14.31 and 10.13 k Wh for the dwellings and mechanical rooms, respectively. This study provides key information that can ultimately be used for numerical energy simulation and optimization of northern buildings and microgrids.
