1，HVDC Light技术在风电并网中的应用，目前已经有几个示范项目在运行，这种技术的主要优点是支持风电厂的自启动（在主系统崩溃的情况下）、无功控制功能、频率调节功能。一个或几个大型风电厂通过这种方式和主系统相连的话，从主系统侧看进去的风电厂和同步发电机具有类似的功能和特征。而且这种技术支持多端口连接，和普通直流技术比，在工程上具有很大的灵活性。不过目前造价仍较高，损耗也不小，而且最小的模块也有360MW，适合大规模应用。预计欧洲续势待发的海上风电会大量，如果不是全部，采用这种技术并网。

2，输电线路动态传输容量研究，主要驱动力是风电，大背景是电力市场下的输电网增容改造缺乏充裕资金。在风电多发的时候，因为风大，输电线得以快速散热，其热稳极限得以相应提高。

3，风电预报技术，已经有多个商业软件在各国电网公司和风力发电公司的试运行中。

-------------------COVER LETTER---------------------

Dear Minister Lunn and Secretary Bodman:
We are pleased to submit the final report of the U.S.-Canada Power System Outage Task
Force, Final Report on the Implementation of the Task Force Recommendations. This
report assesses the implementation status of each of the recommendations made by the
Task Force following the 2003 blackout.
This report documents the substantial progress that has been made by the bulk power
companies, the reliability organizations, and government agencies in implementing the
recommendations of the Task Force. It also sets out the actions required to fully
implement some recommendations. Finally, the report identifies the recommendations
that are not one-time actions but require ongoing effort and improvement over time.
In both of our countries, actions are underway to implement compatible systems of
mandatory and enforceable reliability standards. These will be managed by the Electric
Reliability Organization that can operate on an international basis with regulatory
oversight in the United States and in jurisdictions across Canada. A governmental
Bilateral Electric Reliability Oversight Group has also been established to provide a
forum to consider cross-border matters. This framework will assure that there is an
ongoing focus on reliability, on completing actions necessary to ensure reliability, and on
continuous evaluation and improvement in the management, systems and technologies
essential to the reliability of the bulk power system.
While it is impossible to guarantee that blackouts on the bulk power system will never recur, the Task Force is confident that the actions completed to date, the follow-up work identified in this report, and the new framework for mandatory reliability standards will result in more reliable electric service for the people of Canada and the United States.
We would like to thank the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the National
Energy Board, the Ontario Ministry of Energy, and particularly the North American
Electric Reliability Council for their cooperation and support in preparing this report.

Sincerely,

Mr. Graham Flack, Mr. Kevin M. Kolevar

大惊小怪

这些天挺忙，主要是这些风机搞的。爱尔兰政府首相也挺忙，原因是几年前跟朋友借了5万块钱至今未还，有受贿嫌疑，虽然已经在全国电视台向选民作了解释，但是没有令在野党满意，又在国会接受质询、电视直播呢！要说这爱尔兰人真是见识短，为区区5万块钱就让堂堂首相如此下不来台。不过选民很清醒，很多人表示下次还选他，因为他虽然也不清白，但是在所有政客当中算是好的。
