Guidance Document

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.

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.

This guidance provides for the protection of stationary battery systems, which include the battery and DC components to and including the first protective device downstream of battery terminals. Recommendations are not intended to set requirements; rather, they present options to the battery system designer concerning the types of protection available.
