Hydro-Québec objectives
- Continue its efforts towards sustainable development
- Ensure a reliable supply of quality, competitive price
- Become a benchmark for integration of wind energy in a big network
Benefits
The energy of the water
- It is clean
- It is renewable
- It is available at all times
- You can store water and control the amount turbines to generate power when you need it
Wind energy
- It is clean
- It is renewable
- It varies, as produced by the wind
- You can not store the wind, nor in speed control
Challenge to work the water and wind complementary
The electricity companies must at all times maintain the balance between production and consumption. Indeed, energy must be available on the spot when the customer needs.
Since wind energy is variable and only partly predictable, you must associate it an energy source programmable base. From major producers of wind energy as Germany use of thermal power plants in addition to the wind.
In Quebec, it is hydropower, renewable energy, which supports the wind.
