Coupled Operation of a Wind Farm - Pumped Storage Facility: A Case Study in British Columbia - (PPT)

摘要

In Canada, current-day power systems have been developed for large, centralized, and dispatchable electricity generators. The generation mix in the province of British Columbia is primarily large conventional hydropower, upon which development restrictions have been placed. In order to meet rising demand, the provincial utility, BC Hydro, has called for independent development of clean renewable energy in the 2008 Clean Power Call Request for Proposals.
