Feasibility Studies for Renewable Projects

Jeff MacKinnon, P.Eng. · Oct 6, 2020 ·

There is a lot of activity around adding renewable projects to isolated system and/or behind the meter. Renewable generation development has matured a lot in the last 10 years, and solar has come down in price to the point that the risk of installation is very low. The yellow line is PV solar and the […]

Electric Thermal Storage

Jeff MacKinnon, P.Eng. · Sep 29, 2020 ·

There is a lot of talk about chemical based energy storage (batteries), but before batteries there was thermal storage. Thermal storage is similar to using bricks or water for thermal mass, it limits the thermal swings by slowly releasing the thermal energy into the space even after the heat source (sun, fire, etc) has gone […]

What is the Point of Common Coupling

Jeff MacKinnon, P.Eng. · Aug 25, 2020 ·

I have been working with a couple regulated utilities over the last few years. Neither of these utilities have a lot of small independent power producers (IPPs).

Electrical Safety

Electrical safety is a nebulous thing, but we define it as the set of systems designed to lower the risks associated with the electrical hazards of shock, arc flash and arc blast, to an acceptable level. In our day-to-day life this is handled for us
