The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) is the Crown corporation responsible for operating the electricity market and directing the operation of the bulk electrical system in the province of Ontario, Canada. It is one of seven independent system operators in North America.
The Minto Flywheel Facility for grid frequency regulation was the first in Canada. [1]The 2 MW (for 15 min) [2] flywheel storage facility in Minto Ontario, Canada opened in 2014.
The Ripley Wind Power Project is a 76 megawatt (MW) wind power project near Ripley, Ontario. [1]The wind farm includes 38 Enercon E-82 wind turbines, each with two megawatt rated power, 82m rotor diameter and 79m hub height as well as a transmission line and two electrical sub-stations.
The Ontario market is a hybrid, with the Ontario Power Authority (now merged with the IESO) "contracting for supply, integrated system planning, and regulated pricing for much of Ontario's generation and load". [14] In Alberta, the generation business is competitive, while transmission and distribution are rate-regulated. [14]
If the assessment is favourable, and the proposed policy is enacted—after a suitable length of time for the policy to gain traction—it might be followed by an impact evaluation; ideally, assessed impacts before the fact and evaluated impacts after the fact are not wildly divergent. In some cases, impact becomes politicized due to a change ...

[2] This includes setting rates, and licensing all participants in the electricity sector including the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), generators, transmitters, distributors, wholesalers and electricity retailers, as well as natural gas marketers who sell to ...
NASA G2 flywheel. Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by accelerating a rotor to a very high speed and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy.When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel's rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the ...
The acronym IESO could refer to: International Earth Science Olympiad , an annual competition for secondary school students. Independent Electricity System Operator , the Crown corporation responsible for overseeing the bulk electrical system in Ontario, Canada.
