1982 summer assessment of overall reliability and adequacy of bulk power supply in the electric-utility systems of North America. [Monograph]

Book

Bulk power supply in the electric-utility systems of North America will be adequate to meet projected summer peak demand and electric-energy requirements. The interconnected transmission networks have sufficient strength and flexibility to avoid widespread cascading interruptions and to deliver power and energy to generation-deficient areas should emergencies arise. Utilities are continuing their efforts to transfer energy fron non-oil areas to oil-dependent areas. These transfers continue to cause certain portions of the transmission system to be operated at or near maximum safe loading levels a high percentage of the time. 4 tables.
13th annual review of overall reliability and adequacy of bulk power supply in the electric utility systems of North America

Book

The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) assesses overall future electric power reliability and adequacy and finds it sufficient for the next five to seven years, but uncertain beyond that time because of key factors and issues affecting supply. One concern is the trend toward overloading transmission networks in order to transfer low-cost power. Detailed analyses of the nine regional and one affiliate councils discuss future supplies and issues pertinent to each area. 43 figures, 5 tables. (DCK)
1983 summer assessment of overall adequacy of bulk power supply in the Electric Utility Systems of North America

Book

Data collected from each of the nine regional electric utility systems of North America supports the conclusion that the US and Canada will have adequate power during the summer, and that interconnections will prevent any widespread cascading outages as well as provide emergency power to deficient areas. The networks are able to transfer power generated by hydro, coal, and nuclear plants to make up for the differences in generating costs at gas- and oil-fired plants, although transmission into these areas is near its maximum secure level. This report projects resources, peak demands, and reserves for each of the regional councilsmore »« less
1981/82 winter assessment of overall reliability and adequacy of bulk power supply in the electric-utility systems of North America. [Monograph]

Book

The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) assesses the nine regions and concludes that bulk power supply in the electric-utility systems of North America will be adequate to meet projected winter peak demand and electric-energy requirements. Further, the interconnected transmission networks have sufficient strength and flexibility to avoid widespread cascading interruptions and to deliver power and energy to generation-deficient areas in emergencies. While no overall generating capacity problems are foreseen, adequate reserves depend on new generating units achieving their scheduled, initial service dates, units returning from maintenance as scheduled and unforeseen unit deratings and curtailments being minimal.

1982/83 winter assessment of overall reliability and adequacy of bulk power supply in the electric utility systems of North America. [Monograph]

Book

The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) report concludes that the electric-utility systems of the US and Canada will have adequate resources available to meet projected winter peak demand and electric-energy requirements. Furthermore, the interconnected transmission networks have sufficient strength and flexibility to avoid widespread cascading interruptions and to deliver power and energy to generation-deficient areas should emergencies arise. Reinforcements to the network are being made that will allow electric utilities to transfer increasing amounts of economy energy. Such transfers, while reducing the cost of electric energy to the consumer, can cause certain portions of the transmission system to bemore »« less
