Report and recommendations of the Task Force on Energy Systems Research to the Technical Advisory Committee on Research and Development
In July 1972, the Federal Power Commission established a new National Power Survey. Undertaken as a complement to the Commission's 1970 National Power Survey and earlier Surveys, the new effort is to be a continuing study of electric power requirements, resources, and related developments affecting the utility industry, the utility consumer, the air, water, and land environments, governmental authorities, and the general public throughout the contiguous United States. In establishing the Survey, the Commission stated its intent that there be broad participation in the work by persons from the electric utility industry, from organizations representing consumer, labor, and environmental interests, and from governmental agencies, organized as advisory committees. The Commission noted, however, that the function of these committees would be limited to providing information and advice to the Commission, and that all determination of action to be taken and specific policy to be expressed within the scope of the Survey would be made solely by the Commission. Subsequently, the Commission established an Executive Advisory Committee and six Technical Advisory Committees of the National Power Survey, as follows: Technical Advisory Committee on Power Supply, Technical Advisory Committee on Fuels, Technical Advisory Committee on Finance, Technical Advisory Committee on Research and Development, Technical Advisory Committee on Conservation of Energy, Technical Advisory Committee on the Impact of Inadequate Electric Power Supply. The Technical Advisory Committees were to study and report on the significant issues in their assigned areas of responsibility, and to make recommendations to the Commission as to policies and actions needed to deal with these issues. This volume constitutes the report by the Technical Advisory Committee on Research and Development.
