Abstract
The relative freedom of the Canadian Arctic from environmental effects due to human activities and the presence of many small isolated communities dependent on their own electric power generating systems provides an interesting opportunity for a comparative cost/benefit study of possible electrochemical energy storage systems. The high cost of fuels in the Arctic encourages the design and operation of maximum efficiency energy delivery systems. The elimination of waste at each step is environmentally and economically desirable.
