Abstract
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the wind power benefits and impacts to the San Clement Island wind power system, including energy savings, emissions reduction, system stability, and decreased naval dependence on fossil fuel at the island. The primary goal of the SCI wind power system has been to operate with the existing diesel power plant and provide equivalent or better power qualityand system reliability than the existing diesel system. The wind system is intended to reduce, as far as possible, the use of diesel fuel and the inerent generation of nitrogen oxide emissions and other pollutants.
