The Use Of Transmission Reinforcement Between City Of Calgary, Central, And Southern Alberta

The production of oil is one of Canada’s greatest assets as it brings in lots of profit but British Columbia is one the most beautiful places in the world and is a prime tourism area. This leads to the question is oil transportation right for British Columbia? Enbridge plans to build two pipelines that will carry oil from “central Alberta to coastal BC” (Alternatives Journal, 2012). Enbridge Incorporated is a company that is a main transporter of natural gas, crude oil and other liquids in Canada, as well as a major operator of pipelines in North America. Their plan is to run two 1170-kilometer pipelines across BC that will eventually be moving about 520,000 barrels of oil per day; this

The objective of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce the modern condition of Canada’s energy consumption and the economic benefits. Second, we define and analyze the projections of Canada’s future with respect to the renewable energy frontier. The demand for Energy across the globe has drastically increased since the Industrial revolution. From coal to steam, all the way to electricity and nuclear energy, modern economies and industries rely on sustainable sources of energy to produce their desired output levels (Zelby 2002). Ontario, and Canada in general are on the frontier of energy production and sustainability with regards to smart grid technologies and so forth (Ontario Energy Plan). Canada specializes in many of the

In 1953, the Trans Mountain Pipeline was built to transport oil products from Edmonton, Alberta to Burnaby, British Columbia and Washington State, USA. The 1,147 kilometer pipeline was created to send light crude oil and refined oil products to the west coast to be consumed or exported. Currently, the Trans Mountain Pipeline has the capacity of sending 300,000 barrels per day though its system [1]. The system has also been upgraded to be able to transport heavy crude oils; though at a much slower rate than lighter products [2].

The power lines you see throughout the country that is being suspended above the ground with the help of tall metal towers is designed to carry and transport high voltage transmissions. This is important because at this stage the higher the voltage the more efficient as it transports throughout the network of power lines. Once the voltage passes through transformers the voltage is lowered to a level that is suitable to being distributed for safe usage.

By far, The Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion provides benefits towards the Canadian economy; however, the detriment out weigh the potential benefits. Trans Mountain’s expansion proposal promises to implement many job opportunities for the less fortunate, but one must consider the drawback associated with this issue. If the environment undergoes a single oil spill, nearly half the jobs among multiple industries may be terminated. To continue, the economy, although many differ, will undergo an unhealthy economy due to the inflation that will occur with the expansion of the pipelines. To add on, economic growth leads to more transportation, which most likely will cause an oil spill to occur; therefore, harming the economy in terms of growth,

60 miles of the line will be underground. The current lines have an operating voltage of 115 kV AC and the new lines will have an operating voltage of 345 kV AC and as such will require larger structures to accommodate for this increase in capacity. The current towers range in height from 45 to 75 feet tall while the new towers will go from 80 to 110 feet at some parts.

I understand that Dale Maksymyk talked to you a few weeks ago regarding the potential of a future position for myself with Manitoba Hydro.

The Energy East Pipeline is a project proposed by TransCanada for converting an old natural gas pipeline into one that transports 1.1 million barrels of crude oil a day from Alberta/Saskatchewan to eastern refineries and a marine terminal in New Brunswick. The project’s formal application took place in October 2014, the project will stretch 4,600 kilometers; the exact route of which will be determined when the project gets farther in its design process. (TransCanada, The Project section, para. 1)

The topic of infrastructure is one that is repeatedly assessed in regards to urbanization. Infrastructure is an issue that is always being talked about, but it has a vast definition. Infrastructure, in the context of urbanization, is defined as, “the basic physical and organization structures and facilities (e.g., buildings, roads, and power supplies) need for the operation of a society of enterprise (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/infrastructure). Infrastructure includes the basic needs that a society must have to function efficiently. The infrastructure within the United States, a country in the more developed world, is not sufficient in all areas. There are several areas of the country that lack these basic needs. When a

When people think of the biggest issues that the United States faces today, they often think of terrorism, cyber warfare or even weapons of mass destruction. I believe one of the biggest issues we face as a nation is the conditions of our infrastructure. As you travel around the United States you will see rusty bridges falling apart, roads with potholes or even roads that aren't wide enough to support the heavy flow of traffic. People rely on roads, bridges, sewers and electrical grids to help enhance their societal living conditions. Infrastructure is one of the most important needs for the operation of a society. Funding is needed to help correctly fix, rebuild, and start new construction. The problem is who pays for it? The government, the individual states or someone else?

The roadways of Ottawa, Ontario have been become battered and congested due to the poor infrastructure of public transit. There have been many proposed temporary short term solutions for the issue such as toll roads, public transit route optimization and rapid road rehabilitation. But ultimately, the plan is to implement an expansion to the Ottawa Light Rail Transit (OLRT) system and widen Highway 417. There are many requirements in order to achieve such a task so, this report will outline the guidelines of the procurement processes after issuing the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the OLRT project from the City of Ottawa.

TransCanada’s proposed Keystone XL pipeline would move oil sands from Canada and shale oil produced in North Dakota and Montana to Nebraska for further delivery to the Gulf Coast where many refineries are located. This pipeline would be 875 miles of 36-inch pipe with the capacity to transport 830,000 barrels per day. Since the pipeline would cross the US border from Canada to the United States, the pipeline requires a Presidential permit from the state department. This decision is based on whether the department determines that the project would serve the nations best interests, which includes environmental impacts. Our main focus coming from the Keystone XL pipeline is the environmental impacts that come along with it.

Talk about transmission rebuilding tends to strike fear into the hearts of car owners everywhere. Due to the fact of who only knows about the price which comes with a rebuild. But, while there is some truth to this fear, this is also a lot that is just completely untrue. When it comes to transmission rebuilds, make sure that you know as much as possible before you start jumping to conclusions. Here are a couple facts about transmission rebuilds, to help you learn a little more.

Our sector provides great value over the long-term, especially as BC electricity needs continue to grow over the next 20 years. Moreover, it is important to note BC Hydro is on the hook for construction overages, retrofitting heritage

Some clean energy producers with significant transmission lines were ask by BCA to submit data on the cost of their transmission lines which they have done. BCA has collected data from BC Hydro and Fortis, and have also had a consulting report prepared as well.
