Performance

This guideline is primarily intended to provide an overview of the application process involved in becoming a distributed generator. If a prospective power plant owner plans to generate electric energy and the power plant capacity rating is less than one MW, the applicant may proceed without filing an application with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) if the following three requirements are met: ? No person is directly and adversely affected. ? The power plant complies with AUC Rule 012: Noise Control (AUC Rule 012). ? There is no effect on the environment.

The scope of this document is to provide guidelines for consistant and standard applications for voltage and power quality requirements on or connected to HOL’s distribution system. Normally voltage limits, voltage distortion, and current distortion are measured at the customer’s Point of Supply as per HOL document ECS0012. This document does not cover the following power quality issues: • Voltage control when the Independent Electrical System Operator (IESO) has declared a voltage reduction or an electrical system emergency; • Non-standard conditions such as a force majeure (e.g.

This guideline is intended to assist the customer in understanding the connection process that results in connection of the customer's generation facility to Hydro Ottwwa's distribution network. This guideline does not provide all the details of costs or responsibilities that the customer may assume; such details will be evaluated for each specific request.

The Canada-wide Standards process has focussed on anthropogenic sources that are releasing dioxins and furans to the atmosphere and soil in a continuous process.
In January 1999, the Federal/Provincial Task Force on Dioxins and Furans released the Dioxins and Furans and Hexachlorobenzene Inventory of Releases which documented the current understanding of anthropogenic sources in Canada releasing dioxins and furans. The Inventory of Releases lists emissions from over 20 sectors by province and territory, and provides national summaries for each sector.

CCME recognizes the importance of continuous improvement in mercury emission reductions because of the toxic, persistent and bioaccumulative nature of this pollutant in order to protect not only fish and wildlife, but also human health. CCME is committed to reducing mercury releases to the environment. CCME developed Canada-wide Standards (CWSs) for mercury emissions from base-metal smelters, waste incinerators, coal-fired power plants as well as mercury-containing lamps and dental amalgam waste.

Properly designed and operated incineration systems are capable of destroying the hazardous organic components of a waste stream. On the Other hand, the improper design and operation of these systems could pose a threat to public health through emissions of hazardous and other contaminants including acid gases, metals and organics.
The inherent advantages of the thermal destruction of waste, balanced against the potential problems resulting from such practice, have led to the need to develop sound design and operating criteria for hazardous waste incineration facilities.

Applies to protection equipment with coded bit serial data transmission for exchanging information with control systems. Defines a companion standard that enables interoperability between protection equipment and devices of a control system in a substation.
