Baltic states synchronization with UCTE (also known as Baltic Synchro) is an international electricity transmission infrastructure project to synchronize the three Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) with the Synchronous grid of Continental Europe (UCTE), managed by ENTSO-E, and leave the IPS/UPS transmission system managed by the BRELL (Belarus, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania ...
Pickens estimates that these turbines could generate enough power to provide 20 percent or more of the country's electricity supply. Government would pay for electric power transmission lines to connect the turbine farms to the power grid. They would provide energy to the Midwest, South and Western regions of the country.
From 1996 to 1999, the FERC made a series of decisions which resulted in the restructuring of the U.S. electric utility industry. The FERC's intention in doing so was to open the wholesale power market to new players, with the hope that spurring competition would save consumers $4 to $5 billion per year and encourage technical innovation in the industry.
From a policy perspective, the control of the grid is balkanized, and the former Energy Secretary Bill Richardson refers to it as a "third world grid". To address the U.S. national security interest in significantly growing transmission capacity, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave the Department of Energy the authority to approve transmission ...
The Texas Interconnection is an alternating current (AC) power grid – a wide area synchronous grid – that covers most of the state of Texas. The grid is managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The Texas Interconnection is one of the three minor grids in the North American power transmission grid.
The Alaska Interconnection (ASCC) is an AC power transmission grid in North America that serves Central and Southeast Alaska. [1] While the Alaska Interconnection is often referred to as one interconnected grid, its two parts are not connected to each other through interconnectors, nor are the two grids connected to any other interconnection, making the grids in Alaska isolated circuits.
Stakeholder analysis in conflict resolution, business administration, environmental health sciences decision making, [1] industrial ecology, public administration, and project management is the process of assessing a system and potential changes to it as they relate to relevant and interested parties known as stakeholders.
A power purchase agreement (PPA), or electricity power agreement, is a long-term contract between an electricity generator and a customer, usually an utility, government or company. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] PPAs may last anywhere between 5 and 20 years, during which time the power purchaser buys energy at a pre-negotiated price.
