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.

Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-10, is a complete revision of ASCE Standard 7-05. ASCE 7-10 offers a complete update and reorganization of the wind load provisions, expanding them from one chapter into six to make them more understandable and easier to follow.

The California Building Standards Code, Title 24 serves as the basis for the design and construction of buildings in California. Improved safety, sustainability, maintaining consistency, new technology and construction methods, and reliability are paramount to the development of building codes during each Triennial and Intervening Code Adoption Cycle.

This publication presents design guidelines for hydrogen vent systems used in gaseous and liquid hydrogen systems at user sites and provides recommendations for safe operation of these vents. It begins at the discharge port of safety devices and other components that control the release of hydrogen and ends at the point where hydrogen concentration in the atmosphere is below the lower flammable limits.

This standard describes the specifications and general principles recommended for piping systems for gaseous (Type I) or liquid (Type II) hydrogen. The standard addresses both low and high pressure hydrogen piping systems onsite from the point where hydrogen enters the distribution piping (the battery limits of the hydrogen storage system) to the point of use. For the purposes of this standard, high pressure is defined as gaseous hydrogen at service pressures equal to or greater than 3000 psig (20 680 kPa).
