  2. ALTERNATIVE POWER CSChE 2002 Student Conference • Alberta’s restructuring experience: • Fundamental principles behind restructuring are sound • Prices will stabilize with more generation coming on stream • Despite California, no one has stopped deregulating. In fact Ontario will move ahead in 2nd Quarter, 2002

  3. ALTERNATIVE POWER CSChE 2002 Student Conference Generationgenerates electricity Distribution & Transmission (wires)transmits electricity to provincial grid system; distributes electricity to consumer; manages and reads meters Retailsells electricity, customer service, billing and administration: takes electricity from source to end user Deregulated Regulated Deregulated

  14. ALTERNATIVE POWER CSChE 2002 Student Conference The amount of power available in the wind is determined by the equation: w = 1/2 r A v3 where w is power, r is air density, A is the rotor area, and v is the wind speed. Wind power is a measure of the energy available in the wind. It is a function of the cube (third power) of the wind speed. If the wind speed is doubled, power in the wind increases by a factor of eight (23). This relationship means that small differences in wind speed lead to large differences in power.
