Efficient Power Production through the WMA Sample Clauses
The 'Efficient Power Production through the WMA' clause establishes requirements for optimizing electricity generation using the Water Management Agreement (WMA) as a guiding framework. It typically outlines operational standards or procedures that must be followed to ensure that power production is maximized without violating water usage or environmental constraints set by the WMA. By coordinating power generation with water management policies, this clause ensures that energy output is both efficient and compliant, thereby balancing resource use and regulatory obligations.
Efficient Power Production through the WMA. 22 The control of the rate at which water is delivered to a hydraulic generating facility 23 increases the plant’s ability to produce power on demand. The ability to regulate the flow 24 of water is a result of having adequate storage. The degree of flow regulation determines a 25 plant’s firm power and energy capability. 26 27 Because of their ability to store a tremendous quantity of water, the upper ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 28 reservoirs will provide the primary flow regulation required on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ River. As 29 previously mentioned, those reservoirs have a live storage capacity of approximately 30 1 billion m3 of water. This is enough to allow the spring runoff to be stored in the reservoirs 2 and held over as required for production. Because of the topography of the lower ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 3 River, the capacities of the reservoirs at Gull Island and Muskrat Falls will be much smaller.
