Overview of Project Flow Regulation and Generation Sample Clauses

Overview of Project Flow Regulation and Generation. The amount of flow that enters the Rocky Reach Project is regulated by releases from the federal Grand Coulee Project, which essentially dictates the flowage curve for all downstream projects on the Columbia River hydropower system. Seasonal demand for hydroelectric generation is governed by the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement (PNCA);4 however, non-power constraints such as flood control operations and the FCRPS Biological Opinion also dictate flow releases from the Grand Coulee Project. In the mid-Columbia, five non-federal hydroelectric projects (Xxxxx, Xxxxx Reach, Rock Island, Wanapum and Priest Rapids projects) cooperate with each other and with the federal projects immediately upstream (Grand Coulee and Chief Xxxxxx projects) through the Hourly Coordination Agreement to efficiently manage these releases to meet power demand and non-power operations for fish protection under the Hanford 4 Grand Coulee Project releases are governed by the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement (PNCA). All generating utilities in the Northwest, with the exception of Idaho Power Company, are parties to the Agreement. The Agreement, in conjunction with the Canadian Treaty of 1964, provides a plan for optimizing water releases to meet power and non-power requirements on a seasonal basis. Reach Agreement. The Hourly Coordination Agreement is set up to meet the daily demands of power load peaking while maintaining reservoir levels as stable and full as possible. These seven projects are the primary source for electricity load regulation for the entire Northwest. Hydropower is a unique energy resource because of its ability to start and stop with relative ease compared to other energy sources, such as coal or natural gas, which require hours or days to bring additional capacity online to meet increased demand. If generation and load requirements do not match, the electrical system becomes unstable. Load regulation is the ability to adjust generation as often as every four seconds so that at every moment in time, the generation of the interconnected electrical system matches the load requirements being placed upon it by customer demand. The BPA uses the Grand Coulee and Chief Xxxxxx projects as its primary tools to align supply with demand signals, while all major Northwest investor-owned and some public power utilities have shares of the generation output of the five mid-Columbia non-federal projects. These projects are used for load regulation because of their abi...
