dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this thesis was to propose and thermodynamically analyze a sustainable energy system for a military base in the Canadian Arctic for heating, electricity, farming, fresh water, hot water and waste management. This study is relevant because of the opening up of the Arctic passages and the consequent increase of military presence there. Therefore, an integrated wind powered energy generation system has been proposed and thermodynamically analyzed. The system was designed with a capacity of 51 MW and hydrogen storage of 229 tons. The results show promise with energy and exergetic efficiencies of 64% and 41%, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed system has lower lifecycle costs and emissions than that of its diesel counterparts, which are generally employed in northern Canada.	en
