Power. From Concept to Reality [pdf, 2.29 MB] - Hatch

‘‘
On behalf of the CSA, I want to thank
you and your team for your report: Risk
Assessment for Wind & Ocean Power.
You produced the document in 'record
time,' and we anticipate the study
being of significant value to the CSA,
our stakeholders and our colleagues.

Alternative Energy
While building our established water and wind portfolios, Hatch has expanded
operations into renewable-energy alternatives, such as solar, tidal current,
and geothermal. We provide operators and stakeholders with the most suitable
and cost-effective design, equipment and systems for each project.
Through good planning, design and governance, alternative power sources
can provide safe, clean, quiet, and reliable power to industrial and commercial
sites in urban or remote locations. Increasingly, single-source projects
are replaced by hybrids that offer opportunities in integrated solar–combinedcycle
gas turbine projects, or wind–diesel projects. Implementation of energy
storage technologies — including pumped storage, compressed air energy, battery,
electrochemical flow cell, hydrogen, mechanical and capacitive systems —
make possible optimized energy transfer from time of production to time of peak
use. Such technologies are important for both short-term power requirements and
longer-term global energy planning.
