Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of incorporation of renewable energy (RE) resources on diesel generation carbon footprint reduction in Canada's remote communities. A multiple-year planning optimization problem is adopted to study the feasibility of integration of RE and energy storage system (ESS) in isolated microgrids of remote communities and to verify the economic and environmental benefits of RE integration on those communities. A case study is presented to demonstrate the effect of introducing renewable energy alternatives on greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction in Kasabonika Lake First Nation (KLFN) remote community in Northern Ontario, Canada.Keywords
