In recent years, the electrification of Canadian Remote Communities (RCs) hasreceived significant attention, as their current electric energy systems arenot only expensive, but are also highly polluting due to the prevalence ofdiesel generators. In addition, RCs' inherent geographic characteristics imposea series of challenges that must be considered when planning their electricitysupply. Thus, in this paper, an optimization model for the long-term planningof RC Microgrids (MGs) including Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) and EnergyStorage Systems (ESSs) is proposed, with the objective of reducing costs andemissions. The proposed model considers lithium-ion batteries and hydrogensystems as part of ESSs technologies. The model is used to investigate thefeasibility of integrating RESs and ESSs in an MG in Sanikiluaq, an RC in theNunavut territory in Northern Canada. The results show that wind resourcesalong with solar and storage technologies can play a key role in satisfying RCelectricity demand, while significantly reducing costs and Greenhouse GasEmissions (GHG). In addition, insights on sustainable and affordable policiesfor RC MGs are provided.
