Our research focuses on innovative, practical, and cost-saving solutions for community and industry-scale power generation, transmission, heating and transportation fuels. We strive to enable greater local energy security, sustainability, and reliability by moving energy solutions from the laboratory to the real world.
The Pacific Marine Energy Center at UAF (PMEC-°®ÎÛ´«Ã½) provides practical and innovative solutions for hydrokinetic power generation to help meet Alaska’ energy challenges through applied research.
The Power Systems Integration (PSI) program collaborates with local, regional and national stakeholders to increase the resilience of power systems and reduce energy costs and emissions across Alaska and beyond.
The solar technologies program supports responsible and equitable development of solar photovoltaic technology in Alaska and beyond.
ACEP’s test facilities and laboratories are designed
to offer a unique testing environment to technology developers, utility managers and
other decision makers. Envisioned as an intermediate step to full commercial deployment,
these facilities were carefully designed for a range of testing needs, enabling assessment
of product performance based on many real world conditions.
