7.A.(ii) GVEArs History
Incorporated in 1946 in Fairbanks, Alaska, Golden Valley Electric Association took shape when a small group
of people became interested in bringing electric service to rural areas and furthering the agricultural industry in
Interior Alaska. These pioneers applied to the Rural Electrification Administration, which granted a loan to form
a not -for -profit rural electric cooperative. Last year, GVEA celebrated 60 years of service to nearly 90,000
Interior residents in the Fairbanks, Delta Junction, Nenana, Healy and Cantwell areas to over 42,000 service
locations.
GVEA operates and maintains 2,995 miles of transmission and
distribution lines and 35 substations. Our system is
interconnected with Fort Wainwright, Eielson AFB, Fort Greely,
the University of Alaska -Fairbanks and all electric utilities in the
ti Alaska Railbelt which extends from Homer, Alaska to Fairbanks.
A Peak system demand increased during the past year, from 194.7
MW in 2005 to 207.1 MW in 2006.
Golden Valley maintains a diverse fuel mix to help stabilize costs.
The new North Pole Expansion Plant adds Naphtha, an
extremely clean burning fuel, to our mix. If natural gas comes to
the Interior, the new plant will have the ability to burn gas.
In 2005, GVEA's Board of Directors adopted a green power
pledge. The pledge calls for 10 percent of GVEA's peak load to
The 9.500Kw Fairbanks Exploration Co. (F.E.) power come from renewable energy sources by the end of 2007. With
plant was built in 1927 to serve the gold dredges operating in the Tanana Valley. GVEA purchased power an anticipated peak load of 230 MW in 2007, Golden Valley plans
from the F.E. Company until 1952, when they to meet these goals through a variety of programs and initiatives
purchased the plant. It was retired in March 1972. Including:
• Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project
• Energy$ense conservation programs
• Small scale renewable power
• Wind
• Green power partnerships
GVEA energized the Northern Intertie in October 2003. This 97-mile, 230-kilovolt line is one of GVEA's
initiatives to improve system reliability. GVEA is the northern control point for the Fairbanks/Anchorage Intertie,
which serves most Railbelt communities. Both interties allow GVEA to augment our 296 MW generation
capacity with an additional 70 MW from the Anchorage area.
Golden Valley's Battery Energy Storage System project came online in November 2003. The BESS can
provide 27 megawatts for 15 minutes or up to 40 MW for less time if necessary. Being able to produce 40 MW
makes the BESS the most powerful battery energy storage system in the world in terms of MW output. In 2006,
the BESS responded to 82 events which prevented 311,000
member outages.
GVEA's generating capability of 296 MW is supplied by six
generating facilities. The Healy Power Plant provides 28 MW, is
coal-fired and is located at the back door of the Usibelli Coal
Mine. Our 120 MW North Pole Power Plant is oil -fired and built + .f
next to Flint Hills refinery. The oil -fired Zehnder Power Plant in
Fairbanks can provide 41 MW. The Delta Power Plant, formerly -
the Chena 6 Power Plant on First Avenue in Fairbanks, can _; , ' . '�•�
produce 27 MW. In 1991, GVEA added Bradley Lake'sY
hydroelectric power to its sources of energy. Bradley Lake is #-` k " i' i ' '- i•;
located near Homer, and GVEA's 17 percent share of the energy'
(20 MW) is transmitted via the Intertie. Healy power plant
Construction of the North Pole Expansion Plant was completed in
2006. Fired up for the first time in November, it is now operating commercially. The plant uses combined -cycle
technology to add 60 MW of generation at the existing North Pole Power Plant site. The project entails a 47-
MW combustion turbine with a steam turbine that allows us to generate an additional 13 MW. As demand

Re: Renewable Energy Fund
I am writing to support the request for funding proposed by Golden Valley
Electric Association. (GVEA) to evaluate a solar thermal heating and storage project for
the Denali Borough School District (DBSD) and the City of Anderson.
The Denali Borough Administration will work with GVEA, DBSD, and Anderson
to provider assistance to complete the evaluation.
The potential for this type of project within our area is greatly enhanced due to the
ability to have multiple users of the system. Utilizing this location will maximize the
efficiency of a system located in this particular climate.
GVEA has successfully completed a solar water beating system at the Denali
Education Center and I am confident in their ability to conduct this study. GVEA will be
able to apply the knowledge gained from their previous experience and will continue to
strive to reach the goals they have set to reduce electric costs and dependency on fossil
fuels.
Thank you for your consideration.

SUBJECT: GVEA —City of Anderson Combined Solar Thermal Storage with Ground
Source Heat Pumps Feasibility Study: Synopsis of Work and Budget
Todd,
PDC is pleased to offer you our services in completing a feasibility study and conceptual
design for thermal energy storage combined with ground source heat pumps (GSHP) for
the City of Anderson and the Denali Borough School District. The purpose of the study
is to determine ways that both governing bodies can save money in utility costs
(including fuel oil and electricity) by storing thermal energy in low load conditions for use
in peak load conditions via GSHP. This letter will cover the basic scope of work and how
we propose to accomplish this task.
We will first analyze existing as -built documentation, utility records, and geo-tech data in
our office to become fully acquainted with the facilities and the ground conditions in
Anderson. This will include reviewing the types of building systems installed to see if the
existing systems are candidates for the low temperature heating fluid associated with
GSHP installations and reviewing soil and water table data to see which type of thermal
storage and ground loop would suit the location.
We will then do thorough site visit, verifying information gained from the as-builts and
evaluating the site. Our fee assumes that this site visit will be completed in one day.
Access to maintenance personnel and to as much of the site and buildings as possible
will allow us to provide a more comprehensive assessment.
We will then do further engineering analysis on the potential thermal energy sources and
thermal storage locations focusing on long term seasonal storage of solar energy.
Parasitic losses are very important so rough modeling of potential thermal reservoirs and
ground loops will be performed to determine the most cost effective options.
The information and recommendations developed by PDC will be compiled into a report
that will include, but not be limited to, the following:
• An introductory narrative that describes the location, site, and assumptions that
were utilized in -creation of the recommendations and calculations.
• Summary of energy and utility usage rates and costs as available.

• Descriptions of the suitable thermal storage and GSHP options for the site as
well as a list of possible uses for the low temperature water.
A summary sheet that ranks recommendations based on cost, benefit, and
simple payback.
We will submit a rough -draft of the report at the 95% completion level for you to review
and comment.
We propose to provide these services for a lump sum fee of $65,000 with a preliminary
project schedule of 3-4 months.

PROPOSAL: City of Anderson Combined Solar Thermal, Ground Source Heat Pump, and
Combined Heat Storage Tank Feasibility Study
Project goals —
• Evaluate the viability of solar thermal and ground source heat pump technologies for meeting
the space and/or domestic hot water requirements for various City of Anderson and/or Denali
Borough School District facilities
• Research and evaluate the options and viability of incorporating long term (2-6 months) heat
storage
• Identify potentially viable solutions utilizing either or both of these renewable energy systems
for offsetting part of the heating requirements
• Select and expand on the most viable alternative
• Prepare a report providing
o project background information.
o A summary of the potentially viable systems evaluated (with cost, benefit, and simple
payback.
o A more comprehensive summary of the recommended system, complete with system
concept drawings, heating load profile data, solar insolation and heat generation data,
construction considerations, and an estimated project cost range.
o It is anticipated that this report, and particularly the section on the recommended
system, will be the basis for a subsequent construction grant request.
ABS Alaskan, Inc Scope of Work —
• Research and analyze relevant site, soils, and heating loads information in conjunction with the
PDC research.
• Develop and analyze heating loads profiles for potential facilities.
• Evaluate heat storage options for selected facilities system(s) as related to solar thermal heat
storage.
• Select potentially viable systems (three maximum) and develop system sizing and contribution
estimates (heating loads, heat production, and system heat losses) and systems costs.
• Select a system for recommendation and conduct any necessary additional analysis
• Prepare and submit a report as outlined in the project goals.

Subject: Last years fuel use
Dave, Here is some info. I'm working on other info. I use to keep track of the gallons used in the 90s, I'll see how it compares. What I
remember was between 30,000 to 35,000 gallons. Lots of variables — wind, inside and outside temperature, snow fall, number of students
and staff, lights
Fuel use between October 1, 2008 and Sept 30 2009
TOTAL 35,690.8 gallons $75,465.52
10/1/08 to 12/31/09 12,593.2 gallons $30094,27

Subject: Anderson School history and square footage
Dave, Here is a brief history of the School and approximate square footage.
The original gym (now the shop) was built in 1971, and survived the fire that claimed the old
elementary portable classrooms in 1976. The current elementary wing was completed in 1978,
followed by the secondary wing in 1979. The building as it stands now was completed in 1980
with the addition of the gymnasium. The library was remodeled in 1992. The old gym was
converted to industrial arts in 1982, and those shops were brought up to safety code in 1993-94.
Since that time there has been no major investment in the physical plant. The heating, electrical
and septic systems are all thirty years old.
High School - 10700 ft2
Gymnasium-13100 ft2
Loft -4100 ft2
Elementary -6500 ft2
Shop -11200 ft2

I'll get you some data on hrs of use later today or tomorrow. I have to come to Fairbanks
today.
I looked back on the fuel consumption and it is between 30,000 and 35,000 gal per year.
When it's cold out we go through 1000 or more a week.
Let me know what other type of info you might need.

The estimated size of the school is 45,600 square feet including upstairs storage. We have one water
heater 100 or 150 gallons. ( I'll get you the exact size tomorrow unless you need it today) I'm not sure
we can get a more efficient water heater. It's only has 1329 hrs run time on it over the last 10 years. This
thing kicks @55. I'm up for upgrading any where funds are available.
On the septic system I didn't mention I called Keith about coming down on Aug 22 2009. To inspect the
electrical before the contractor buried it.

Hi, Can you give me an estimate of the size of the entire Anderson school (square feet)? How many
water heaters and how much storage? There might be some funds for energy efficiency projects
and these are the areas that the funders are interested in. Thanks, Dave.

The Anderson School heating systems uses four Burnham boilers and one Jackson and
Church forced air furnace working in cooperation to supply the school with the proper
amount of heat and fresh air.
The boilers are identified as:
Boilers
507-1
507-2
504-1
504-2
These boilers supply heat to multiple air handling units (AHU's), unit heaters, and
baseboard heaters. The air -handling units provide heat and tempered fresh air throughout
the school.
Boilers 507-1 and 507-2 supply heat to the following units and areas:
➢ AHU-1 (Gym)
➢ AHU-2 (Concession area)
➢ AHU-3 (Weight rm, coaches rm, gym bathrooms)
➢ AHU-4 (Multipurpose rm, Sam's Diner, crawl space under elem)
➢ AHU-5 (Elem. classrooms, staff lounge, parts of library, crawl space
under elem)
Boilers 504-1 and 504-2- work together to supply heat to the following units and areas:
➢ AHU-F1 (HS classrooms, locker rooms, hallways)
➢ Baseboard heat (All HS classrooms, and parts of library)
➢ Unit heaters (hallways, pit area, attic above library)
➢ Cabinet heaters (library entryway)
Jackson and Church Forced Air Furnace
➢ (Auto, welding shop, maintenance and upstairs attic area)
All heat for the speech therapy room, home ec room and wood shop is radiant from the
auto shop, maintenance shop and high school hallway.
All of these Systems depend on one another to help heat other areas of the building. If
one area is shut down it has the possibility of affecting other areas in the building

Layout of the solar district heating system
absorption heat pump
EuroSun 2006, 27-30 June, 2006, Glasgow, UK
The specific investmieiiftost of this new storage construction is expected to be significantly lower
compared to those of the seasonal hot-water heat storages in the projects Friedrichshafen
(12,000 in'), Hamburg (4,500 m3) and Hannover (2,750 m3), although it will have an improved
heat insulation and a stratification device.

The'Volidwirtg is courtesy of US Schott.
This chartithows solar insolation in kilowatt-hours per day in many US
locations. Ir
For simplicity, we call this figure "Sun Hours / Day".
To find average sun hours per day in your area (column 5) you can look
at the maps above or find the city you are located in or near to on the
following chart.
If you want year-round autonomy (where you will have enough power for
periods of
reduced sunlight due to inclement weather), use the lowest figure. If you
want 100%
autonomy in the summer, use the highest figure.
