Topic:"Grid Modernization" in M12593

DESCRIPTION: This project will design, develop, and implement two new interrelated software solutions in the Energy Control Centre (ECC) to (1) automate the process for tracking independent power producer (IPP) generation, and validate and...

AI summary The project involves developing two new software solutions in the Energy Control Centre (ECC) to automate renewable generation tracking, wind curtailment prioritization, and enhance reporting. It also includes implementing Automatic Generator Controls (AGC) in the NS Power SCADA platform to improve dispatch and control between NS Power and Independent Power Producers (IPPs). The initiative aims to increase efficiency and transparency in managing renewable generation as Nova Scotia's grid expands.
