They have to do a great deal of juggling to make room for the uncontrolled and uncontrollable wind generation when it's windy during off-peak periods while at the same time making sure that the system remains stable and that the lights will be on tomorrow when the wind dies down.<br /><br />The recession was a factor, of course, but the biggest problem in my opinion is the willy-nilly approach to new wind generation taken by the present government. SOME wind generation makes sense, but it doesn't make ANY sense to accept as much wind as can be developed at any place on the grid and at any time convenient for the developers, which seems to be the case at present. <br /><br />SBG is a present-day term that may have been chosen to be politically neutral (Mr. McGuinty wouldn't ever have agreed to calling it "surplus wind generation", but that's really mainly what it is). But the phenomenon first occurred about 30 years ago in Ontario when the transmission capability out of the Bruce complex wasn't sufficient to carry all of the available Bruce generation. It was called Locked-in Energy (LIE) at that time, and was a big embarassment.<br /><br />I am clearly not as up-to-date as you about the present-day transmission out of Bruce, but it seems weird to me that a wind farm producing large quantities of intermittent energy (that can't be relied upon) would feed into the same line that is used to transmit energy from Bruce, unless of course the line can take well in excess of the full Bruce output. Maybe this isn't the case, but this does point to something that your system-wide analysis didn't cover, and that is the manoeuvring of other sources of generation and transmission loads for LOCAL accommodation of wind generation when the wind is blowing.Trevor Falknoreply@blogger.com
