The Clean Energy Solutions Center, in partnership with the International Smart Grid Action Network, is hosting a no-cost, webinar-based training on the PowerShift Atlantic research project.
Launched in 2010, PowerShift Atlantic (PSA) is a collaborative research and demonstration initiative focused on finding more effective ways to integrate wind energy into our electricity system, with demonstration programs for residential and commercial customers underway across the Maritime Provinces in Atlantic Canada. Currently, PSA has a total of 16.5 MW of connected load and roughly 1,250 customers.
The project focuses on leveraging distributed energy resources, such as thermal storage solutions, to better integrate renewables. A virtual power plant has been developed and is currently in operation, dynamically shifting customer loads, such as water heating, electric thermal storage solutions, and building HVAC systems.
A Clean Energy Fund project through Natural Resources Canada, PSA is led by NB Power, in partnership with Saint John Energy, Maritime Electric, Nova Scotia Power, New Brunswick System Operator, the University of New Brunswick, the Government of New Brunswick and the Government of Prince Edward Island.
This webinar will feature a project overview, followed by a question and answer session.
