The Risks and Rewards of Transporting LNG By Rail
février 4, 2020The comment period for the proposed rule to allow LNG transport by rail ended on Jan. 13. Now the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) decides how to move forward on the idea, which was introduced by trade advocates representing North America's seven Class I railroads. TRC's Wade Narin van Court discusses the regulatory and financial implications for freight carriers planning to compete in a new commercial arena.
New York State Finalizes Emission Limits for Power Generators
janvier 21, 2020On January 16, 2020, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) finalized a rulemaking limiting nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from existing simple cycle and regenerative peaking combustion turbines with a nameplate capacity of 15 megawatts (MW) or greater during the ozone season (May 1 – October 31).
NERC Reliability Report Prioritizes Power System Risks
novembre 21, 2019Looking ahead to the many changes coming to North America’s Bulk Power System (BPS), NERC’s 2019 ERO Reliability Risk Priorities Report highlights the top issues requiring industry and regulatory attention and recommends actions for the ongoing protection of BPS reliability.
PHMSA Publishes New Rules to Increase the Safety of Hazardous Liquid Pipelines and Gas Transmission Pipelines
septembre 25, 2019The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration this week published important new rules aimed at improving pipeline safety.
NERC Pursues Changes to Protection Relay and Control (PRC) Standards
septembre 24, 2019Two Standards Authorization Requests currently being debated in the NERC stakeholder engagement process could help clarify PRC standards obligations for generator owners and operators.
Potential Impacts from EPA’s Proposed Waters of the United States Rule
juillet 24, 2019The EPA is redefining which bodies of water are eligible for protection under the federal Clean Water Act - and which ones aren't.
New York State Proposes Emissions Limits for Power Generators
mars 22, 2019On February 27, 2019, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) released a proposed rulemaking limiting nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from existing simple cycle and regenerative peaking combustion turbines with a nameplate capacity of 15 megawatts (MW) or greater during the ozone season (May 1 – October 31).
NERC to Modify Standard and Develop Compliance Guidance to Accommodate Inverter-Based Generation Technologies
février 20, 2019Renewable energy systems have dramatically changed the power generation resource mix. These new generation technologies no longer involve directly coupled rotating generators which were once standard in the industry. Now, inverters that change Direct Current (DC) electricity to the Alternating Current (AC) electricity suitable for delivery via AC transmission systems are becoming more prevalent, raising reliability…
NERC Addresses Single Points of Failure in Protection Systems Among Other FERC Concerns
octobre 25, 2018On February 27, 2019, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) released a proposed rulemaking limiting nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from existing simple cycle and regenerative peaking combustion turbines with a nameplate capacity of 15 megawatts (MW) or greater during the ozone season (May 1 – October 31). Under the proposed rule, NOx limits would be phased in starting on May 1, 2023 and fully implemented on May 1, 2025. There are more than 125 affected units, a majority of which are in the densely populated areas of the five boroughs of New York City and Long Island. The NYSDEC expects most of the affected units will be retired or replaced.
