D711A: Power Quality National Survey

The survey objective was to provide a benchmark of power quality at the customer service entrance panel (i.e., the power quality that utility customers experience). A few primary metered sites were also monitored, providing an indication of power quality at the utility distribution voltage level (i.e., the power quality that utilities supply).Twenty-two utilities from across Canada participated in the survey using commercially available power quality monitors. Innovative software was developed t

G209: POTENTIAL BENEFITS AND COSTS OFCANADIAN ELECTRICITY EXPORTS Volume I and II

The study investigates the potential benefits and costs of increased Canadian electricity exports to the United States. These benefits are identified through integrating analysis of the potential size of the U.S. market, the cost of Canadian supply, the opportunity cost of U.S. generation, and illustrative export pricing rules and volumes. The U.S. markets investigated encompass the displacement of new capacity and existing oil-fired generation. Prospective Canadian supply sources comprise dedic

7001: Report On The World's Latest Development Of Single Room Heat Pump Systems For Canadian Electric Utilities

There are about 3.5 million electrically heated homes in Canada. With the development of new varieties of room-type heat pumps for cold climates, they provide an alternative to the difficult to retrofit baseboard-heated market. This project was divided into three stages: technical assessment of single room heat pumps; world wide review of the latest research and development work on room-size heat pumps with an emphasis on cold climate heating and cooling applications; and a study of the business

G472: Predicting Environmental Impacts of Hydroelectric Developments in Canada

The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which environmental predictions made during the environmental assessments of selected hydroelectric projects in Canada have been confirmed by post-development experiences. The process of developing a conceptual framework of analysis, which was an integral part of this study, yielded "generic impact hypotheses." In the future EIA's of hydroelectric projects, use of these hypotheses, together with the recommendations provided, can improve

D373: Evaluation of Touch & Step Voltages in Underground Distribution Systems - Stages I & II

The first of the two main objectives of the original proposal was to provide operating engineers with a clearer idea of the various processes governing induced voltages and ground potential rises on underground distribution systems. This was attained by performing Stages I and II. Stage I consisted of a consultation among Canadian utilities to create a suitable data base for the sensitivity analysis forming part of the study to be conducted in Stage II.This study provided the opportunity to iden

G749: Dedicated Photovoltaic Power Supply for Air Conditioning

This project examines the feasibility of using roof mounted photovoltaic arrays to reduce peaking demands on utility distribution systems resulting from air conditioning loads. Three different applications, a residential building, an industrial/commercial building and an office complex, were modelled. To test the concept to its limits, the warmest week in 1990 was selected as the study period. Hourly solar radiation data and temperatures obtained from Ontario Hydro monitoring stations were used

U268: Residential Hot Water Use Patterns Volume I and II

This report presents the findings of a market research project undertaken to establish average and typical daily patterns of residential hot water usage in Canada.The data development approach is outlined, as is the methodology used to analyse the data and reduce the information to daily usage profiles for a variety of respondent groupings. The results are then compared to those of a previous study, on which the current CSA standards have been modelled. The objective was to develop generalized u

U463: Energy Storage on the Supply Side or on the Demand Side

Traditional large-scale supply side electrical energy storage methods are compared with demand side energy storage methods that may now be economic because of recent electric utility changes or because of recent development work. The characteristics of various energy storage methods are summarized. Promising options are identified: a) residential thermal energy storage for space heating; b) commercial thermal energy storage for comfort conditioning; c) battery and thermochemical energy storage.

U39: Long Range Electricity Forecast for Canada - A Methodology

This report presents the results of work in the development of a uniform forecasting methodology for electricity demand in Canada, by province and end-use. Demand for energy is intimately related to the economic outlook for each province. A reference case for the economic outlook for each province is given as well as for selected industries. This case was developed to test the reasonableness of the electrical energy consumption model. Included in the assessment is an analysis of historical trend
