THE FIRST DEMONSTRATION PROJECT OF THIS SCOPE IN CANADA
The Objective
To modernize the Town of Parry Sound’s grid
to facilitate the shift towards a net-zero smart community.
The objective of this project is to create a Smart, Proactive, Enabled, Energy Distribution – Intelligently, Efficiently and Responsive (SPEEDIER) grid that builds towards a net zero smart community in the Town of Parry Sound. This is a unique opportunity where a rural municipality of 6,000 residents is pledging to be net zero in partnership with Bracebridge Generation.
The SPEEDIER solution was proposed in order to help to address the previously identified need for costly system upgrades required for the growing energy demands of the community.


The Objective
To Implement Advanced Technology
within Lakeland’s Infrastructure
The objective of this project is to create a Smart, Proactive, Enabled, Energy Distribution – Intelligently, Efficiently and Responsive (SPEEDIER) grid that builds towards a net zero smart community in the Town of Parry Sound. This is a unique opportunity where a rural municipality of 6,000 residents is pledging to be net zero in partnership with Bracebridge Generation. This project is an opportunity to further leverage existing initiatives and integrate more resources and intelligence into SPEEDIER via Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) Leveraging the Lakeland / Bracebridge Generation’s Net-Zero community plan for the town of Parry Sound creating a CLEAN ENERGY POWERED FUTURE; SPEEDIER adds a layer of grid intelligence to future proof the distribution network. The Project is an opportunity to increase flexibility by using advanced grid modeling and system planning tools as well as a Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) for increasing visibility and control.


Project Goals
The following strategies will be employed:
1.
Model and integrate diverse Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) controlled using a DERMS (DER Management System) to balance energy consumption and generation;
2.
Develop Net Metering data infrastructure; and
3.
Implement a utility feeder-level, island-able microgrid using a solar PV and battery storage installation to provide increased system resiliency to customers.
Benefits
The project will strengthen the northern Ontario economy, support clean technology initiatives, increase system resilience, create local jobs and demonstrate that modern technology can be integrated into the electrical grid.
The project will create an environment where Distributed Energy Resources (DER) can be integrated into the traditional electrical grid. By doing so, the local system will benefit from increased resiliency and add flexibility by introducing renewable energy sources. With this new capability, Bracebridge Generation and eventually other Local Distribution Companies will defer capital upgrades and reduce over loading on its local distribution and transmission infrastructure. (Non-Wires Solutions).
• Relieve the capacity of the constrained Transmission Station (TS)
• Create capacity for the local community to continue to grow/develop
• Strengthen Northern economy
• Enable Distributed Generation (DG)
• Contribute to clean environment through reduction in GHG
Project Scope

Transactive energy refers to the economic and control techniques used to manage the flow or exchange of energy within an existing electric power system in regards to economic and market based standard values of energy. It is a business model that is used in an effort to improve the efficiency and reliability of the power tsystem, pointing towards a more intelligent and interactive future for the energy industry.

Anguages only differ in their grammar?
For science, music, sport, etc, Europe uses the same vocabulary. The languages only differ in their grammar their pronunciation And their most common words.
Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators. To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words. If several languages coalesce, the grammar of the resulting language is more simple and regular than that.
