At the same time, no sacrifice in system reliability results from this primary reliance on clean renewable energy power sources. In another Polar Technologies project, an HR3 wind turbine installation is also part of a two-year program investigating the practicality of integrating renewable energy sources into the infrastructure of the South Pole Station, which is operated by NSF. Page 14 WIND ENERGY APPLICATIONS GUIDE WIND-DIESEL VILLAGE ELECTRIFICATION In the Northern Territories of Russia, about 20 million people live without access to an electricity supply grid. Diesel and gasoline power stations provide the main source of energy supplying the Arctic coast of Russia. There are more than 5,000 of these in total serving an annual fuel consumption approaching 6 million tons. More than 60,000 people in Russia rely on this fuel-supply network and a significant expenditure is incurred every year . . . --3000,3,500,2486,35259
