Integrated Techno-economic Assessment of Community-scale Geothermal Facilities for Nunavik**

地热能源正在成为一个有前途的选择，为加拿大偏远的北方社区提供电力和热力。这一伙伴关系项目的目的是调查与社区规模的地热设施有关的资本和运营成本，同时考虑到社区的规模、潜在地点和地热技术的未来前景。我们将特别研究地热设施的可用性和服务的连续性，通过估计其组件和部件的故障模式和故障可能性。在此过程中，我们的目标是通过根据其对地热设施可用性的影响对组件进行优先排序来减少过度维护，从而最大限度地降低维护成本和频率。地热设施的可靠性、服务连续性和维护情况对于加拿大北方的偏远社区特别重要，这些社区的极端天气条件和缺乏通往主要城市的永久交通工具限制了他们获得维护服务。

Geothermal energy is emerging as a promising option to locally provide electricity and heat for remote northern communities in Canada. This partnership project aims at investigating the capital and operational costs associated with community-scale geothermal facilities considering the size of the communities, potential locations, and future prospects for geothermal technologies. We will particularly study the availability and service continuity of geothermal facilities by estimating the failure modes and failure likelihoods of their components and parts. In doing so, we aim at minimizing the cost and frequency of maintenance by reducing over-maintenance through prioritization of the components according to their impact on availability of geothermal facilities. The reliability, service continuity, and maintenance profile of geothermal facilities are of particular importance for remote communities in northern Canada with extreme weather conditions and lack of permanent means of transportation to major cities limiting their access to maintenance services.
