Powered by fossil fuel power plants are more expensive and polluting to exploit the hydroelectric facilities.
Despite their small contribution to the total production of electricityfrom Hydro-Quebec , they play a very important role in the provision of basic energy and peak power. In addition, they can serve remote areas such asIslands Magdalen .
Role of Thermal Hydro-Québec
Some thermal plants operate continuously to meet the basic application (energy basis). This is the case of diesel power plants.The gas turbine Bécancour only works occasionally, when the demand is high and hydropower generation is insufficient.
Diesel
Central Islands Magdalen
Diesel power plants are mainly located in remote areas. They serve mostly isolated in Nunavik communities on the Lower North Shore and Upper Mauricie. Diesel fuel plants and networks of autonomous distribution. The central one-against, the largest diesel power plant Hydro-Quebec, is located in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
Natural gas and light fuel oil
Bécancour
The gas turbine power plants typically use as fuel light oil or natural gas.They have this name because it is the combustion gases to drive the turbine.They are only used in the production of advanced energy because of their high operating costs due to the high consumption of fuel is relatively expensive. These plants have the advantage of being started and stopped within a few minutes, while other types of power plants need longer time.
