Issued also in French under title: Intégration des sources d’énergie renouvelable à puissance de sortie variable – l’importance des services essentiels de fiabilité : Conférence des ministres de l’énergie et des mines, St. Andrews by-the-Sea, au Nouveau Brunswick, août 2017. "This paper has been prepared for Natural Resources Canada by Power Advisory LLC, based on direction and input provided by Canada’s Federal Provincial Territorial Electricity Working Group." Includes bibliographical references. "Variable renewable energy technologies (i.e., wind generation and solar photovoltaic [PV] generation) represent an attractive strategy in many provinces and territories to assist the electricity sector contribute to Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction commitments. Across Canada, conventional fossil fuel generating units are being retired in response to these same objectives. These changes are affecting the requirements for and availability of three “essential reliability services” (ERS) that system operators rely on to maintain reliability of the bulk electricity system. The purpose of this report is to provide policy makers and regulators with an overview of the ERS needed to maintain a reliable bulk power system; to identify and describe the generation sources that provide these services; and to review policy and regulatory initiatives that are being pursued to increase the number of resources that can provide these services"--Executive summary, p. 1. gccst Renewable energy Electric power systems--Reliability Energy policy Canada.
