Analyzes the impact of integrating new electrical systems on surrounding infrastructures and the overall grid, particularly in cases involving inter-ties between two grids. It assesses effects on reliability, stability, and capacity, including voltage levels and load flows across both systems. The study identifies necessary upgrades to mitigate adverse impacts and provides recommendations, complete with estimates for costs, timelines, and coordination with utilities and stakeholders involved in both grids.
An initiative aimed at securing sufficient clean or renewable energy for the province of BC. It supports First Nations economic reconciliation, ensures the delivery of clean, renewable, and affordable power to British Columbians, and promotes greenhouse gas emission reduction through efficient electrification.
The date when a new power plant or infrastructure project begins its official commercial service, indicating that it is fully operational and capable of delivering electricity or services as per contractual agreements.
Assesses and optimizes electrical systems within a specific facility, such as a building or an industrial plant. It involves evaluating the existing infrastructure, determining load requirements and analyzing power distribution. This study estimates the cost, construction, and installation times to accomplish the interconnection.
A comprehensive long-term management strategy developed by utilities to sustainably meet energy demand in a cost-effective and reliable manner.
The process of connecting a power generating facility to the electrical grid to allow for the exchange of electricity.
A contract between a power generator and a utility or grid operator detailing the terms and conditions for connecting a new power facility to the grid.
A formal application submitted by a power generator to a utility or grid operator requesting permission to connect a new generation facility to the grid.
A condition where a distributed generation source continues to power a location even though electrical grid power is no longer present, potentially posing safety risks.
A metric used to consistently compare the cost of different energy technologies. It represents the per-unit cost of building and operating a generating plant over an assumed financial life and duty cycle.
The specific location on the power grid where a new generation facility or renewable energy source connects to the existing electrical network.
A software tool used by engineers for the simulation and analysis of power system operations and planning.
A software tool used for the detailed modeling and simulation of power systems, focusing on electromagnetic transients and dynamic behaviors.
Evaluates the potential effects of proposed changes or additions to the broader electrical grid or system. These changes could include the addition of new generation sources, transmission and distribution lines, or large loads.
